Numi Organic Jasmine Pearls, 16 Ounce Pouch, Loose Leaf Green Tea Imperial Dragon Pearls, Brew 200 Cups (Packaging May Vary)USDA Organic

This tea was of very good quality in my opinion. It was fresh, had a nice aroma, and plenty of caffeine content for my preferred energy boost. It is also worth the price compared to other brands. I have been drinking it for a long time and even when its older, it still has great taste. Would recommend and purchase again.

Taste great

This tea has a delicious flavor with a lovely jasmine aroma. Excellent quality for the price!

For me it is economical and very good but it doesn’t have the strong jasmine taste like the Numi tea bag. I love the mild jasmine flavor and the smell of the jasmine in the tea bag. Also, loose leaf tea requires you to get the amount right. I am still working on getting it just right. I tend to drink more tea when using the loose leaf than when using the tea bag. The loose leaf is convenient for many cups. The tea bag has the stronger jasmine flavor and is convenient when in a hurry. I use both. In general this is the best tasting affordable Green tea I have found.

I'm not a tea expert; so I can't really say how fresh, the look, the scent and flavor of loose leaf green teas are really supposed to be properly. However, this is my first loose leaf green tea product purchased, after having various tea bag green teas from the local grocery store for soo long. This just tastes much better than all those in tea bags, and I can't go back to tea bags anymore.Now, this Numi green tea for the price of a 16 ounces bag at $20 (whereas other green tea brands are costing from $15 and up for a bag of 3-4 ounces,) is clearly the best value. Furthermore, this is organic and fair trade certified. Just more pluses for this brand. You don't see that fair trade certification in many other more expensive premium brands. I'm hoping other brands are not employing less than satisfactory work environments.Nonetheless, green tea (or any tea, in general) aren't the best tasting; but, this green tea still tastes a whole lot better than any black coffee. I don't add any sugar or honey and still able to drink 4-5 cups a day of this Numi tea. I'm drinking for the benefits, right? It actually taste quite clean and smooth with no bitterness whatever.

My favorite tea is Jasmine pearls, it has an uplfting, calming and relaxing effect with just enough caffeine to give me some pep in my step with no jitters! I was buying jasmine pearls from Teavana but very seldom since the cost was way more then I could afford. In substitution I was drinking loose leaf Jasmine but it's just no where as good as the pearls so I wasn't really enjoying loose leaf Jasmine. I wasn't getting the same effect!!! Honestly the pearls really make me feel good!!!. I discovered Numi's jasmine pearls tastes just as good and is just as fragrant as Teavana and even better NUMI is ORGANIC unlike Teavana which isn't and the cost of Teavana tea is outrageous!!!!!!!Now I can have my favorite tea EVERY morning. If you are not a true lover of Jasmine then this tea may not be for you since you will feel and smell the true essence and armoa of Jasmine with every sip. And for those of you who are not experienced with brewing green tea pearls you do need something large enough to let the leaves open fully (don't use a tea ball) and PLEASE don't burn the leaves!!!! The water should be turned off as soon as it starts to bubble and then poured over the pearls. I use 2 &1\2 teaspoons for 16ozs. I've found 3 minutes is perfect amount of time to steep. If you over steep the tea can become bitter tasting. Oh yeah and the scent of Jasmine is known to have a uplifting and anti depressant effect! As a mother of 2 year old twins this tea helps me keep my sanity everyday!!!! FYI I do use the 32oz perfectea maker by Teavana to brew my Jasmine pearls, it's large enough to let the leaves unfurl fully. I stress: a tea ball or a mesh cup strainer wouldn't be good to use with pearls. You could put the leaves in a pot of water after it has come to boil and then strain with a fine mesh strainer if you don't want to invest in this Teavana perfectea maker but I highly recommend it for steeping loose leaf tea!!!!! The Teavana perfectea is available in a 16oz or 32oz size.

Just tried my gunpowder loose leaf green tea. I added a little honey and a smidge of almond milk. So good! I love the strong (but not bitter) taste of this tea and will definitely keep this stocked in my pantry!

Gorgeous, soft taste, invigorating. Don't forget to eat something before. I practice scooping the tea leaves out with a spoon, not too much trouble after a while. I alternate sips with little raw honey+raw chocolate balls I make, tastes brilliant. Wonderful in the morning when I need to get going but don't want to turn into a bug-eyed psycho with coffee.Update: 11/29/2024 - Not sure what happened to my last update but I'll add it here. Found a piece of what looks like colored packing material for rice in my cup after I'd made tea, very uncomfortable and no idea what's in it if it's toxic. Hope this doesn't happen again. Also, more recently have been finding a LOT more stems in packages, hope you can stay on top of this.Update: 12/24/2024 - Pleasantly surprised. Company jumped right on it and gave me a refund. Not many companies you find these days step right up to take responsibility!
