I’ve been rolling in Jasmine pearls lately, trying to find the ideal one for me, so I have a pretty diverse and fairly recent frame of reference for this one.
I’ll save you the long spiel. If you’ve had jasmine pearls you know what to expect. What makes this one unique from others is that the flavor is mellow and registers on the cocoa/nutty side with light floral, as opposed to the more fragrant and heady or fruity and sweet jasmine teas. Definitely not soapy or anything like that. This one is smooth and a little creamy. It’s not my favorite, but pretty good. :3

While I don’t have any now to verify that I definitely feel this way, I remember the last of the two samples of Steepster Select’s jasmine pearls were kind of mind-blowing, and they sell them in the store here but they are a pretty penny.
Currently the one I have at home and enjoy the most is from Yezi Tea. :3
I guess it’s a little unfair to say the steepster one is a pretty penny. It’s not badly priced, but with shipping it is sort of on the high end. You’ve got to be ready to invest in 100g of it.
As far as the taste of the Steepster one… it had a really light and refreshing flavor that reminds me of pink bubble gum. The Yezi one is a little more on the mellow creamy side with subtle hints of cocoa, like the Adagio one, but Yezi’s has a little more sweet floral note on the top.
just curious, which one is your favorite?
