5 Stars Gift…
Bought it to be part of a large gift basket I am making for Christmas so I don’t know how it tastes and what the contents of the box look like but the box is cute and everyone else who has seen it has already called dibs on it if the recipient doesn’t want to keep it. The box alone would go for what I paid for the set at somewhere like Pier 1. Also; the recipient has a young daughter, knowing how my niece reacted when we brewed our Primula flowering teas I imagine (even if it doesn’t taste that good) both mother and daughter will be delighted.
3 Stars Pretty and functional, but small
I was excited to receive this, and it is very pretty, but very tiny. It stated how many ounces it was, I guess I just didn’t put that into relative terms. It makes about one cup of tea, and the first one is a pretty strong one. Because it is so concentrated, it’s hard to see the little bloom once the tea steeps.
For a pretty decoration, it’s nice. If you have one cup of tea a day, it’s nice. I, personally, am going to purchase a bigger one.
5 Stars Impressive, even to a 74 year old Asian American father.
I got this for my dad, who is 74 years old as an anniversary present. When I told him I got him “blooming tea” on the phone, he didn’t sound too thrilled and said something along the lines of, “maybe I’ll give it away.” Of course I didn’t take offense because let’s face it, that’s how old Asian people are.
Anyway, I guess he opened it up, and it changed his tune right away. Not sure what he was more pleased with: the cool bamboo box that he stores his little trinkets in now, or the fact that he’d never seen blooming flower tea before. Regardless, he was a happy camper, and I got a good price from Amazon and Amazon Prime.
5 Stars Excellent value
The tea has good flavor and does make three cups each. I enjoyed watching the flower”bloom”. This would be a great gift for a tea drinker.
3 Stars Fascinating & fun to brew….blase to drink
Although fascinating and fun to brew – watching the flower develop, the tea itself is very bland. People at work were fascinated by the flowered pot on my desk, curiously asking questions. However the fascination ended for me once the steaming cup met my lips and the tea itself passed over my taste buds. To be fair, perhaps I am not discerning enough or just not attuned to the nuance and subtlety of white tea, but I found the taste to be washed out & weak – even on the first pot. I suppose it is unique enough to warrant a try if you are so inclined, especially if you can get it on sale. I paid less than $15 for the set of nine flowers and pot. The pot does not have an infuser, so without a screen, expect bits of tea in your cup. Emjoy!
