jasmine phoenix pearls
by adagio teas
(69 reviews)
Jasmine Phoenix Pearls are perfumy, hand-rolled jewels of tea from Fuding, in Fujian province, China. Any fan of jasmine tea should try this specially crafted wonder. When added to hot water, Jasmine Phoenix Pearls majestically unfurl, releasing their delicate scent and flavor. Also known as 'Jasmine Dragon Pearls', their liquor is sweet and almost sugary. Very soft, airy mouthfeel. The delicate quality of the flavor is due in part to the leaves used to produce this tea: two tender, tiny new leaves and one plump unopened leaf bud. Younger leaves will yield softer flavor. Steep at 195°F for 2-3 minutes

I love jasmine! 2 min @ 165. I love to steep these pearls in my Ingenuitea 2 so I can see them open. I resteep multiple times and love inhaling the aroma. Delicious both hot and cold brewed. I highly recommend for all lovers of jasmine tea.

I tried this with a single serving size and and it was good. I prefer the yin hao variety better.

Very fragrant and floral without being too perfume-like, which often makes me dislike jasmine teas, but this one I enjoyed. I would recommend using a bag filter after letting it unfurl in a gaiwan because there were a lot more small piece than I expected. But this was nice.

LOVE this tea!! Very light tea. I like to steep it a little longer and add honey. The jasmine flavor is so relaxing. I would highly recommend this as well as black pearls from Adagio.

A unique green as it's not too earthy, fun to watch unfurl, a tad sweet in flavor, nothing I'd reach for on the daily but happy I have it in my stash

Reminds me of Teavana in a good way, just wish it was as fragrant as the Teavana tea was. Still good!

Honestly the best tea I’ve tasted to date. It has a unique flavor that’s different than anything else but in the best way. It still taste like tea but it’s got a taste no other tea is even similar to. Definitely something special, and a real treat

This is a beautiful tea. It is nice to watch the pearls unfurl into large leaves. Very strong jasmine flavor with mild green tea flavor.

I love this tea! Not only does it unfurl beautifully while brewing, but the jasmine scent and taste is amazing! not too strong, not too light. Just perfect!

This is a fantastic tea that I save until I have the time to steep it multiple times. The jasmine is fragrant and delicious and truly complements the green tea flavor. Sometimes I add a little peach tisane to a later steep as that flavor makes a delightful combination as well.

Always a classic and a favorite. Smooth flavor with floral notes of jasmine. I steeped it two different times and it was delicious!

A really solid jasmine tea! I rather enjoyed it. It had a great smell and a taste that really followed it up. Very floral but strong.

I truly didn't expect to like this one, but I think its romantic aroma has me falling in love. This is true wild jasmine flavor--exotic, green, slightly animalic, and naturally pufumey without any fake fragrance additives. Truly one of the best green teas available on Adagio that I will happily re-purchase. If you enjoy pearl teas, don't miss it.

This one is my favorite!! It is so much fun watching the pearls slowly unfurl. It is a green, light, delicious jasmine. I treated myself to a little bag of this after trying a sample. I like drinking it in a glass mug as it's so pretty.

I don't like jasmine teas because I'm anti-floral but I like this. As a bonus, it's pretty.

This tea has a wonderful flavor and I love the way the pearls unfold. Although it's only for esthetics, I wish you would add jasmine flowers to the mixture!

One of, if not the best jasmine I've ever had! The scent both dry and brewed is delightful and delicate, and the taste is just fabulous! I tried it as a sample and had to buy another larger bag to keep on hand!

adore jasmine tea, and like the story about the zen priests and it helping them stay up to meditate... these pearls make it extra pretty too

Probably the best jasmine I've tasted. Not perfumy at all. Smooth. Nice with honey.
-
Kai Dranchak
The leaves of this are great. But the jasmine flakes are kind of soupy and too strong in flavor.

There are good and better jasmines. Again you have to be careful with this or else you will wind up drinking perfume. Just a few pearls will do per cup and it’s a nice lovely cuppa.

This tea smells amazing! Reminds me of walking through a botanical garden. I love the scent of jasmine, and this tea doesn't hold back!
Bonus is that it's a rolled green - those are so interesting to watch unfurl as they steep! Make sure you give them enough room!
The combo of the scent and the sight of the tea unfurling is a very relaxing, mesmerizing experience, for me at least.
Unfortunately that's where the bulk of my enjoyment ends. While I love the scent of jasmine, I am not the biggest fan of their flavors. I can handle an accent of florals here and there, but ones of this strength are not for me.

My favorite floral tea! The jasmine isn't a punch to the face like other jasmine teas have been for me. It's delicate enough to be complex without being too subtle. It doesn't really leave you wanting more but that's only because it delivers exactly the amount of floral flavors and aromas you want in a jasmine.

I don't normally choose flowery teas, but this one is wonderful - it was a pleasant surprise for me! The floral flavor isn't too perfumy or bitter. It kind of has a sweet taste to it - it's hard to describe. And for a green tea, it wasn't bitter or biting! I'm so glad I got to try this one!

I really enjoyed this green tea. Steeped at the recommended 180 degrees for 2 1/2 minutes, it tastes just like munching on the walls of grandmother's house, very perfume-y. Yes, this is a good thing!

Some of the best Jasmine tea out there. Depending on your brewing method, these a so fun to watch unfurl as it steeps. The flavor is smooth and flowery without being overpowering.

Max Sugerman
Really lovely and fragrant tea. Make sure to not oversteep. I've found that using hot but not boiling water is the best

The most floral jasmine tea that I've ever tried, its like drinking a bouquet.
-
Rebecca Haley
To me this is one of the better green teas. It had a good floral taste and smell. Mixes good with peppermint for a twist on a Morroccan Tea.

It’s a very smooth cup I’ll give it that but god it’s so floral that it tastes like perfume and I just can not drink it

Amazing tea. Very fragrant and pleasant. I love the jasmine scent added to the tea. So delicate

My favorite jasmine tea i've tried. Delicious soft taste great with a small amount of honey.
-
Ann Hammel
Not for me; this tea was in a sample pack and I took a few sips and although it came across as smooth, I did not like the flavor enough to finish it. It's all about personal taste, I'm sure others may love it. I think that 'perfumy' might be one adjective to describe it, unpleasant in my mouth or somehow between my mouth and my nose.

Really nice jasmine green, wonderful fragrance, nice semi-sweet flavor. I love this cup.

Delaney Burk
I know most other people love these pearls, but I can't get behind them. The flavor is almost medicinal and no matter how pretty they are steeping, that can't get rid of the taste.

I enjoyed this tea. I got this in my green tea sampler pack. This was not my favorite out of the bunch but it was still good

This is an awesome tea with a great flavor, and I love watching the pearls unfurl!
-
Mandi B
My favorite Green tea of all time. It's amazing on its own with a little honey, or mixed with another tea like Honeybush Vanilla to add a little different flavour to the profile. I love that a little goes along way with this tea, and i can reuse the leaves for 2 or 3 cups.

Wonderful jasmine tea, it has a very strong aroma but the flavor is comparatively light and delicate
-
Lydia May
Simply phenomenal. Very aromatic with a light, floral taste. If you're only steeping it once, you're missing out; the flavor gets more complex with the second and third infusions.
-
Lydia Getgen
These pearls were delightfully aromatic, with a soft flavor to the actual tea. One of my favorite Jasmine tea experiences

I’d never tried jasmine pearls before Adagio - I got a sample in my Advent calendar last Christmas, and I loved it! Ordered my own standalone box of it. 🙌🏻

I personally don't drink this tea, but my mother loves it so much she's requested more of it.

Christina Wlodarczyk
Absolutely loved this tea. I am not great at describing flavor but it didn't taste bitter or strongly of any type of plant like the green Gunpowder. It is a nice subtle flavor and an excellent compliment to flavored biscuits.

I just tried this green tea for the first time, and I love it! I think its my new favorite green tea that I have tried from Adagio. It tastes best very hot, if you can handle it. The pearls smells very fresh and herbal, kind of like grass.
