Best Jasmine Oolong?

Which merchant offers the best “moderately” priced jasmine oolong readily available in the US? I prefer something a bit “over the top.” One where brewing fills the room with the fragrance of jasmine.

I unfortunately have had only one, but after drinking Adagio’s Jasmine #12 (my 1st Jasmine tea) I’m hooked on jasmien:)

I agree with Cofftea! Adagio’s Jasmine Pearls (#12) are by far the best I have ever tasted! Some will reference Jasmine Pearls as “green tea” and others say it is an “oolong”. I have had quite a few Jasmine Pearls (I’m on a quest LOL) so you can check out my tasting notes and that may help you out.

Rishi’s organic pearls are amazing too, but I didn’t suggest them cuz they’re considered a green.

Yeah those are pretty good as well ;-)

I have a few other Brands at home I need to try but I haven’t gotten around to it yet…. I feel like I am over ran with Jasmine Pearls… but of course, that is fine with me LOL

I have Adagio’s Jasmine #12 (an oolong) in my tea arsenal. Does everyone feel that’s the best? I like it, but I was just wondering if there was anything with a little more jasmine. My Adagio teas always seem to arrive a bit “tired.”

I like Rishi’s better (it’s green pearls, not oolong pearls) although I would probably never buy them. Organic tea of any kind is always better.

Hate to say it, but if memory serves, Teavana’s Jasmine Oolong wasn’t terrible.
Granted, this is information from months, if not over a year ago, so the memory may be distorted, or they might not even carry it anymore :)
