Jasmine Pearls 4.0 oz Bag (Superior Grade)

I've had quite a few different jasmine tea pearls and they come in a variety of grades. These superior grade specimens from Summit are just that. They average around 8mm-1cm in diameter (large) and have an extremely pungent and fresh jasmine aroma. In the cup they unfurl into whole young spring needle leaves. The liquor is an inviting pale yellowish green with moderate to strong tannin and a rich flavor strongly redolent of jasmine blossoms.I drink this kind of tea in a tall cup. I put 6-10 pearls in the bottom and let the leaves unfurl there (i.e. I do not use an infuser and I do not remove the leaves while I drink the tea). Unlike most green teas this doesn't get too bitter with an extended time in the cup. In this way it is like a green wulong. Because of the strong flavor, this tea can be infused multiple times.The quality of jasmine tea pearls varies. Some are small and hard. Some are infused with only jasmine oil and some include blossoms. This example is among the better ones obtainable in terms of size and grade of the leaves and the quality of the floral scent. Recommended.

My wife enjoys it. She drinks it every 2nd or 3rd morning. She likes to mix things up. She has been drinking teas from this company for several years and has not been disappointed. Summit is a quality company and has been very responsive when issues came up.

Kind of said it all in the title. I use 6 to 10 balls in 12 ounces of very hot water and let it steep for just a few minutes. I then drain all the tea into my tea cup and consume it. I then add more very hot water to the tea balls and repeat this process 4 or 5 times. Sometimes, after the second or third brewing, I will add a couple of new tea ball to the old one to refresh the wonderful aroma and flavor. Works very well when I am drinking tea with company (in the event you wondered how I drank so much tea).This tea is NOT bitter and does NOT need added sugar or sweetener.Enjoy if you decide to try it.

A very mediocre tea. Brews weak and lacks flavour compared to other brand's jasmine pearl. If you look at the tea after the pearls unfold you will notice that it contains only one top leaf and the rest is a STALK. Other high quality jasmine pearl brands roll only top leaves in a pearl. Needless to say stalks brew bitter and bland.

The tea is ok. This does not get 4 or 5 stars because it is not in the air tight tin as shown. It's more or less a zip lock bag, which should keep it fresh but that's yet to be seen. If the tin is important to you, this is not for you. The aroma is very "grassy". The taste is slightly grassy, but just a tad. It is delicate. I used about 1/4 teaspoon of sugar with it in a normal cup and it's ok. Lacks that "liquid silk" feeling of some jasmine teas but very drinkable.

The first container I purchased was much fresher than the second one I bought. The Jasmine smell in the first purchase was much fresher than the second one. To be fair, when I called to complain about the lower quality of the second purchase, the customer service apologized about that and offered me a refund for this purchase. Excellent customer care and for that I will buy from this company again because they took responsibility for the quality control of their products.

I have to update a previous review where I only gave the tea 2 stars. A representative from Summit Tea Company called me to discuss my dissatisfaction with their product and recommended a different product with their company that would have a more pungent Jasmine flavor. They are sending the product for free! How can you beat customer service like that!!! They are definitely a company I would do business with again!

I reordered this because I love jasmine tea and had been happy with the product but quality seems to have declined. I immediately noticed the fragrance was different when I opened the can, it was much fainter and seemed a bit fruity as opposed to that distinctive jasmine smell. Unfortunately that carried over to the taste as well, it is nowhere near as strong and I am unable to use the tea leaves for a second cup like I used to be able to.
