Jasmine Silver Needle

I first had the Jasmine Silver Needle tea at the Peninsula Hotel in Beijing and I immediately asked the waiter where I could purchase it. He gave me the online ordering information as well as a small bag to take home to tide me over until I received my order.
That was 5 years ago and it's still my favourite tea.

To my untrained taste, this is the first Jasmine white tea I bought. I am really taken aback by how light yet full of flavor this tea is. While drinking it the first time, I exclaimed 'this is just sensational'.

One of the nicest Jasmine teas I have ever tasted. It is smooth, fruity and fragrant with no bitter after taste. I love this blend in the afternoon it is a hug in a cup.

I first encountered Jing teas in the Cathay Pacific Lounge at Terminal 3 in London's Heathrow airport. It was so good I made it a point to frequent that lounge whenever possible... and take a couple bags with me for the flight. The Jasmine Silver Needle tea may be the star of the Jing tea universe. Now that I'm getting it delivered to my home in the States, I don't need to travel to Heathrow as often to get my Jing fix!

We first tasted Jing in HK airport lounge and fell in love with it. My husband and daughter, who are non tea drinker, asked me to purchase only JING upon our return home. The cost of product and shipping are so well worth it. Will definitely purchase again.

This is the most delicious jasmine tea I have ever had.
Light in colour, aroma and fresh on the palate. No bitter aftertaste which some jasmine teas can leave.
It is such a treat to have at any time of the day.
A taste sensation!

Really enjoyed this light perfumed tea - quite delicate

One of the best teas I’ve ever had!!

Very nice. Subtley floral. Light and refreshing.

I love to drink this tea in the afternoon and evening. It is particularly lovely cold. Here in Sydney in the summer it is a particularly refreshing tea in the hot weather. The Jasmine is light and not overpowering. Amazing to think that the Jasmine flowers are only exposed to the tea for a short time. Drink this tea most days.

Both myself and my wife love Jasmine tea and we sometime chose Camomile tea if not available at top quality. We have noticed this particular product at a recent visit to a top chain hotel and fell in love with it. Next step is no brainer. We have started a regular subscription to this product. You can try loose or teabags, both of similar quality. The bag will easily make 2 cups of tasty aromatic tea. Well done Jing. Fab product.

The most refreshing cup of tea. Light and fresh tasting, with the loveliest hints of jasmine. It’s my drink of choice for the afternoon onwards and a perfect after dinner tea.

Such a treat to get what it says on the label. My perfect cuppa every time. Delicious subtle hint of Jasmin.

This tea is aromatic and light in caffeine - suitable to drink in the night during or after dinner. A good grade tea, almost similar to the one which I bought when I was in Shanghai.

Lovely, delicate natural taste of jasmine. Very thirst quenching.

This tea is lovely and makes me stop with the first hit. Relaxing and refreshing. I drink Jing green and white teas. Indeed it is now the only tea I buy.

I really love this in the afternoon or in the evening when looking for a fresh, light, floral cup of tea. It refreshes the palate and is an interesting tea to drink with its subtle flavours. This is a good tea for people who dont like an over scented or over floral teas.

First discovered it at the Tate and finally traced it back to Jing Tea. Never looked back! Best Jasmin tea around.

Over the years, I have tried various tea brands including Kusmi Tea, TWG, Mariage Freres and have visited tea plantations/production companies in Sri Langka, Uji and China, I am utterly impressed by JING’s tea. I have ordered multiple times and their Jasmine tea is testament to their expertise, knowledge and attention to quality. Definitely try it out and you will love it!

A superb Chinese Jasmine Tea, superior in both taste and appearance.

Delicious light Jasmine tea, a nice light alternative to green tea.
Great delivery service

Who knew tea could be so delicious? I have tried many white teas in the past but this one is my favourite. Smells amazing as well...

This is such a beautiful tea; delicate, smooth and fragrant. The smell as you’re brewing is divine and fills my kitchen with such a beautiful soft jasmine fragrance. Brewing this tea is a real joy, and the taste is so smooth, gentle and calming - it feels a real treat and I recommend it for anyone who loves tea. This’ll be one of the best white teas you’ll ever drink.

Just smelling the leaves creates a sense of calmness but the taste is beautiful, light and relaxing. Becoming a true Jing fan.

I agree with Nicky this tea has a beautiful flavour even after 3 infusions. Best tasting Jasmine for me.

This Jasmine tea is beautiful, fragrant and delicate flavour. It has a nice place colour and is very refreshing to drink. I prefer the loose tea tom the teabags, I find the bags a little on the strong side for me, having said that, I can top up with fresh water several times.

Very efficient website. Quick delivery. Had this tea for years. It is my treat to start every day! Staff very helpful if need assistance. Thank you
25/09/15 Still very efficient, and very polite on the phone if I contact them. Delivery fast.The odd voucher might be appreciated by retuning long standing customers, I think.Thanks

The best jasmine tea I've had. Best flavour is on the first infusion I find but it still tastes lovely after 3 infusions.

I had this tea at a hotel at the weekend. It is divine...the aroma and taste. The last time I tasted jasmine tea like this was as a child over 35 years ago and I drink jasmine tea regularly. I am so happy to find a jasmine tea of this quality. Thank you!

I have been drinking this tea daily since 2006 and ordering it from Jing Tea ever since.I think that sums it up !

One of the nicest jasmine teas I have ever purchased. I am a customer for life!

Two of my favourite teas in one place.. delightful

The quality of the tips is exceptional, allowing for multiple infusions. The taste is light and fragrant. Simply the finest Tea you can have. I experienced Jing Silver Needle tea in Malaysia, staying at a hotel. Now I can finally enjoy that flavour again in the UK.

This tea was my first purchase. I now keep a supply and treat all my friends when they visit. I joke they come for the tea, not to see me ! It is utterly delicious. Since then I have purchased Assam, Earl Grey,Lemon and Ginger, Lapsang,Chai, all are delicious, proper teas. And Jing service excellent.

This is simply the best white tea. It is so delicate and fragrant. Reminded me of the tea I had a child. I never knew what it was just that it was handpicked jasmine leaves from China. Many years later I stayed in a hotel in Mayfair, London and this hotel won awards for their High tea and tea blends. At long last I found the tea I have been looking for. 5 stars

Great quality and flavour as with many of Jing's tea. I never tire of this and Jing's method of packaging maintains freshness and delicate taste.

This really is the most wonderful tea. A very delicate flavour it is absolutely my favourite tea. I love it!

For me this tea really shines as an Iced tea a 3g cold infusion over night/ 8 hours worked wonders and a second infusion more subtle again. As regards ice tea the focus on Jings website is towards to fruit teas but for my money this tea really shines in a cold infusion and in this weather what could be better

Subtle and dainty, yet utterly sublime, drinking Jing‰'s Moli Yin Zhen is an exquisite experience for the taste buds. A fresh, uplifting taste is felt as the flavours of this tea caress the roof of your mouth and then, like a cascade of spring blossoms, hints of light fruit and vanilla fall around the mouth. Just like the members of a world-class orchestra, the flavours of this tea combine and complement each other to create something truly unique with each sip bringing you closer to that feeling of a warm spring morning. Because the flavours of this tea are so exquisite, I like to make it in a simple manner, letting the leaves flow freely within really warm water for around 5 minutes before using a traditional tea strainer; there‰'s nothing I love more than taking in the sweet spring aroma of this tea whilst I'm letting it slowly brew in an old-fashioned ceramic teapot. And to top it off, the perfect companion for the spring sensation taste of this tea is a homemade oatmeal biscuit (and, if possible, a warm spring morning!).

I tried Jing tea for the first time, at the Westin Hotel in Melbourne (they have it in the rooms). It is so delicate and delicious in taste - that I just had to take all the complementary teas they left us, so we could savour them at home (and also get online to order more!) My husband loved the Early Grey - but the website has so much on offer, I think well be purchasing a great deal more than just the two flavours we tried at the hotel.

So let me preface this review by saying that I am exhausted today. I also have a headache, achy muscles and am generally irritated by all people that I come in contact with. This is largely due to an iron deficiency that has been kicking me arse for the past few weeks. Anyway, I am not wanting to play around with caffeine tonight and risk not being able to get to sleep later. As I thought through my tea options that were less caffeinated, one sample immediately came to mind. Yep, you guessed it---Jing's Jasmine Silver Needle. If you are not familiar with JING, then I might suggest that you become familiar with them and especially if you are one that loves pure, unflavored tea. I constantly have a Wish List that includes a number of their items that I have tried through Teaviews and many that I am DYING to try!!When I fished my sample of this out and opened it up, I was greeted by the aroma of the fragrant jasmine. The jasmine aroma is perhaps a bit more citrusy than I am used to coming across. Often, many blends featuring jasmine have an aroma of nothing other than that of some very strong, fragrant jasmine. This one is a little more delicate and relaxing, I prepared this using water brought to 175 degrees and infused the needles in my JING Glass One-Cup Teapot Set (that I love, love, love tyvm) for a full 3 min. The jasmine in this is really quite exquisite. It is not a dominating, in-your-face jasmine, but is more subdued and rather delightful. More than I noticed citrus notes in the prepared cup, I noticed a sweetness that I was having hard time pinpointing as either white chocolate or vanilla. Then I read on Jing's website that what I was tasting were some soft, mellow vanilla notes. These notes are not there in a creamy way, but more of a silky way. The silver needle itself is of a nice quality and is sweet and velvety. I kept tasting hints of melon in the cup that I suspect were actually coming from the silver needle. If I were to pinpoint the melon, I would call it more honeydew than cantaloupe.This tea totally reminded me of why silver needle is truly the Cadillac of white teas. It is so softly sweet and velvety. It is quietly powerful and just plain delicious. There was nothing not to love about this blend---the silver needle was exquisite and offered up delicious melon notes. The jasmine was not overpowering and had some truly unique citrus and vanilla notes. Overall, I found this cup to be very silky and sexy--- it is unequivocally the best Jasmine Silver Needle offering that I've tried. Highly recommend.

This is truly a tea to be savoured. The subtle blend of flavours change depending on the brew. No two cups taste exactly the same but all of them are an experience to be enjoyed in the moment. It is a tea that can be taken throughout the day, on its own or with a meal. Silver Needle Jasmine tea is, without doubt, unique, outstanding and of superb quality. Very highly recommended.
