Product Description
10 individual blooming tea - 5 Jasmine and 5 Green, offer you an opportunity to try both. Fine jasmine scented tea leaves are hand tied around the base of a Red Globe Amaranth flower. As the tea steeps the leaves gently open and "bloom" into a lovely flower. The other, are fine spring picked tea leaves, hand tied into delicate balls. As the tea steeps the leaves gently open to reveal a string of tiny jasmine flowers. The infusion tastes of a soft nutty green tea flavor with no hint of jasmine. These are a great alternative or compliment to wine at a dinner party. Serve in a wine glass to inspire conversation. Keep adding water to enjoy a fine flavor throughout the entire meal.

Tasty and economical!!! July 21, 2008

I fell in love with flowering green teas from our local tea shoppe, but I was very dismayed with the price ($4/ball!!!).

I was elated to find this listing since it amounts to about $1.50 per tea ball and it tastes great, better than what we get at the fancy store. It has a light delicate flavor that doesn't get bitter at all! You can make five pots of tea without degradation of flavor or any increase in bitterness.

Highly recommended!

I purchased two sets of the blooming jasmine and green flower teas as Christmas gifts. The recipients were thrilled to have received such interesting presents. Both of them raved over the uniqueness and fantastic tastes of the teas. The only negative with these gifts is that it will be a little more difficult to purchase something these hard to buy for relatives will find as delightful this next Christmas!

The tea arrived quickly and beautifully packaged. It was perfect for a gift, and I kept some for myself. It is absolutely delicious. I will definitely order again. The price is much better than most others I've found.

Tastes alright, presentation not as colorful as hoped. January 4, 2009

The tea tastes decent (I have tried the jasmine so far), but I wasn't as thrilled by the presentation. I was expecting a breathtaking and colorful bloom. Instead, I poured the water over the tea ball, and it just floated lazily to the top. As the hot water soaked in, the bland colored tea leaves slowly opened and revealed...a wad of more bland colored tea leaves in the middle. It eventually sunk to the bottom and sat there looking like a hunk of pond weeds. The only color whatsoever was a few tiny pink petals that floated on the top of the water. Someone walked into the room and asked (with a trace of disgust), "What is that? A sea anemone?"

So, if you just want to drink a delicate tea, these would be fine. But don't expect to the wowed by the blooming action.

Bad taste, not pretty January 22, 2009

I got these as a gift for my mom, who is an avid tea drinker. The blooms opened and were not nearly as pretty as I thought they'd be. They looked more like seaweed. The taste was terrible, granted, I only tried the jasmine, maybe the green tea is better.
