Jasmine Pearl

Having tried various jasmine pearl teas (and being a real tea snob) I can confidently say this is the best jasmine pearl tea I've tried. This is the tea which personally proclaimed Rishi's reputation as a connoisseur's tea source. There is this je ne sais quoi about the freshness of the jasmine aroma here which is so vibrant and uplifting. The bouquet is complex yet simple and direct like a burst of sunlight in all the colors of the spectrum. Then the green tea itself provides a loyal scaffolding with no astringent tones. Often times with infused green tea there is a mentality that the "green" part of "green tea" can be left to the gutters and compromised. In addition, the pearls are tightly wound which is testimony to the high-grade of this tea and which is also appealing to the eye as there is a beauty in these round little formations of Camellia sinensis. The package is also vacuumed sealed (no air inside) just like the green teas my Chinese friend brings over from China. Some pearl green teas that I've tried have a heavy, "dead" smell like the flowers themselves were stale. Even though the aroma here is intense and strong, it is not overbearing but dancing with happiness and purity. One can imagine the jasmine flowers sprawled next to the tea leaves while infusing their heady cocktail into them. Sometimes, if I am lucky, I will catch a tiny piece of a jasmine flower floating delicately in my tea. Thank you Rishi for believing in the discernment of your customers!

I love all kinds of tea, but Jasmine Pearl is by far my favorite. I have tried other brands and Rishi does Jasmine Pearl best. It is expensive but worth it to me!

This tea has an incredible Jasmine scent. The tea itself is not too strong, but I can smell the Jasmine from a couple feet away! Wonderful tasting and a very relaxing experience sipping on this tea. It makes me feel like I'm surrounded by Jasmine blossoms. I highly recommend!

A beautiful tea, delicate, but with character. Takes me to another place every time.

This is my favorite tea...ever. It's what made me ditch coffee and opened the door to tea heaven. I have tried dozens of other company's Jasmine Pearls, but NOTHING compares to Rishi's. I literally drink this tea all day long, winter or summer, morning, noon, night. It's perfect anytime, any occasion. It's actually a PERFECT tea when you have guests over. The tea is delicious and people always want to know where I got it. Also, it's a great show to watch the little pearls unfurl, it always impresses people. I'm just going to put it right out there: DON'T waste your time and money on other companies. Just buy Rishi's. I have wasted hundreds of dollars looking for Jasmine Pearls that compare, and when it comes down to it, there is no comparison to the taste, aroma, and overall quality of this tea. THANK YOU RISHI!!!

Makes an excellent ice tea. One of my favorites.

Lovely tea, a big hit with everyone who tries it!

I have been around the block with other brands, but Rishi's website is where I am able to buy the freshest, best tasting Jasmine Pearl. Other online sellers of Rishi Jasmine Pearl I have found are selling the tea that the expiration date is just a year out, where Rishi's website is two years out. Again,IMHO, Rishi's Jasmine Pearl surpasses any other.

This is the best jasmine green tea I've ever had. Worth every penny.
