Teavivre Jasmine Silver Needle White Tea (Mo Li Yin Zhen) Loose Leaf Chinese Tea - 3.5oz / 100g

replacing my favorite White needle Jasmine tea for my tea ceremony was going to be quite the journey until I happened upon this one and took a chance! And let me tell you I about cried when I opened it and tasted it, the flavor is perfect, the color is gorgeous, extremely fresh and soft leaves. I love that they double sealed it a sealed bag within a sealed bag - super extra fresh! A great value as well but overall an extremely well tended and blended tea. The Jasmine for those who love it as much as I do is that true beautiful flavor that is just like smelling the fresh flower growing - this tea goes straight to the heart 🦢✨Thank you for this beautiful tea 😭💖🍵

BLUF: If you love jasmine green, get this and get it now. Also, it gets the rare and coveted HB two wings up as a best buy on Amazon.There is nothing not to love about this tea. It's a needle tea, and that means the leaves are processed so they are narrow and flat. That's unusual in my experience with many, many jasmine greens. It is all leaves, not "two leaves and a bud." The leaves are neatly trimmed from the stems, and the jasmine buds were not left in the tea. It's all heavenly, tasty, fragrant leaves. And there is no dust.Almost every tea monger who offers jasmine green sells a carelessly processed product. That doesn't mean their teas are bad. Many taste just fine. But the jasmine buds are not supposed to be mixed with the tea leaves. Tea leaves and jasmine buds should be layered in separate trays, and the jasmine buds should not be mixed with the tea. This is proper handling and processing, yet it's rarely seen. You're buying tea, not jasmine buds, which are really just filler. A jasmine tea carries jasmine fragrance, not the flowers.I brew the leaves twice at 180 degrees F for about two minutes. The leaves change little in appearance. They're not incredibly dry, so they don't swell much. Granted, the leaves are long enough to make measurement impossible unless you have a teeny tiny scale. But an experienced tea drinker can eyeball the correct amount, and in this case, use less than you think you need. The flavor is fruity/vegetal with a hint of tannin and the flavor of the jasmine fragrance. I do not find nutty, smoky, or earthy notes. It is a delicate taste in a light-bodied amber brew.At this price point, the tea far exceeds my expectations. And like all its tea, Tea Vivre packs it in double sealed bags. As always with their teas, the absence of dust is astonishing, and I haven't found a broken leaf in the package. I cannot recommend this highly enough for jasmine lovers.

Not good tea taste

Very floral and full of jasmine flavor. I enjoy with a little raw honey. Good quality tea and great aroma. Can brew multiple times. Expensive and not cost effective for how much I drink tea but it’s impossible to find a quality jasmine silver needle tea at an inexpensive price. A bag lasts me about 2-3 weeks.

Nothing not to like here, obviously top quality tea. I'm not a huge fan of jasmine tea, but I have a couple bags of quite expensive Chinese green teas with practically no taste, so I needed something to add to give them a jolt.

I was hesitant to buy this tea given the price - and there are plenty of decent jasmine teas I can get locally for far less - but one sip had me hooked. This is the most delicious tea I've ever had. The tea is fresh - the leaves are unbroken and fragrant. Indulge yourself!
