fujian jasmine pearl
by adagio teas
(12 reviews)
Hand-rolled green tea from the Fujian province of China, infused with the delicate scent of night-blooming jasmine. Each pearl is made up of just one leaf and an unopened bud, which unfold to release a delicate floral fragrance, and a liquor of soft texture and delicately dry finish. While these pearls are not the largest or the most evenly-rolled we've seen, we could not pass up the complex elegance of this tea and its quietly hypnotic jasmine fragrance. Fujian Jasmine Pearl is a treat for all jasmine lovers. Steep at 195°F for 3 minutes

I love teas that unfurl! And I love the scent and flavor of jasmine teas. This tea has both those things, so I really enjoy it!! Lovely flavor, and you can get multiple steeps. Lovely Tea!

I love jasmine tea, and this one is exceptional. The tea is mildly floral and smooth, with a subtle sweetness. No grassiness or bitterness noted. Good with honey, but sweetener not really needed. Resteeps several times.

Possibly my favorite jasmine from adagio, with perhaps the exception of the silver needle. Soft, gently floral and a very easy drink. Watching the pearls open adds to the soothing quality.

I've been writing love letters to Adagio's Jasmine Phoenix Pearl tea for the past two years, so when Fujian Jasmine Pearl sashayed into my recommendations feed, it was too alluring to pass up. The 3oz. arrived enshrined in a tiny square tin that spoke volumes of its quality long before the first sip. The tea itself steeps into a lovely golden liquor with a delicate, green elegance in every mouthful. Compared to the Phoenix Pearl tea, the taste contains far more nuance, less "perfume", and a lighter finish. Having tried it for myself, I fully understand why it's usually out of stock. Add it to your wish list, keep an eye on the product page, and press the "add to cart" button the moment it becomes available because this one will continue flying off the shelves. Kudos, Adagio!

Pleasant light floral taste, not overpowering. Jasmine tea has such a wide range of strengths, this one is well balanced.

This was a lovely, light, sweet floral tea. Sometimes jasmines can be “too much” but this one was good. I only used a few pearls too so it goes a long way.

Pleasant jasmine tea, but a little light. I'm a fan of jasmine teas at certain times and this hit the spot, but I was almost wishing for more white tea or green tea flavor to pull through. It's a nice balance, but I think I liked the other jasmine pearls better? Hard to say which is best, they're just a little different.

I'm a big fan, but it is delicate. Delicate. Delicate. It's like drinking a garden if you get it right!

Great tea, but not very strong jasmine flavor. I am a big fan of jasmine scented teas, and although its more expensive than the Phoenix pearls, i still prefer the cheaper phoenix pearls!

If you want to expand your tea horizons, this is a great choice. It's fun to see the leaves unfurl. It results in a pale liquor with a deep, earthy flavor.
