I bought these teas to give as gifts - because a friend had given me a set of 12 and they are wonderful. The 'blooming' flowers are beautiful, very aromatic, taste fantastic - and you really can make several pots of tea with each one. The second pot gets darker than the first and I think we've made as many as four pots of tea from one flower. Price is pretty good too.
This tea is fun to watch as the flower expands in the water. Very smooth taste and can be used again and again in the same day. If you love tea, you gotta try these "flowering teas"
This was a gift for my Daughter. She was truely excited and has nothing but good things to say about the tea and the flowers.She purchase a couple of pod from the local Tea Shop and was a little disappoint with the flowering.Thank you. She really liked this gift
Grows delightfully and it is a pleasure to watch it, either by yourself or with the person you share the cup of tea.
They are all Jasmine. The only bad thing about this is that if you like your Jasmine Tea really strong then you won't like the way this works for you. Assorted Green Tea Flowers should be called Assorted Jasmine Green Tea Flowers. Jasmine Tea in particular can get really bitter easily if it is overbrewed even a bit and I was afraid I would have to take the flower out after a couple of minutes to stop the brewing process. What you'll get is a tea with all the Jasmine and none of the bitterness. Having said that, it's a wonderful surprise when you put in the bud and don't know what kind of flower you're going to be getting next.Usually when I buy Jasmine Tea I get the finest- A small 4 ounce bag that runs me $20 and although this tea isn't as good as what I regularly buy it's still very nice tasting. The makers thought ahead and made it so that you can leave the flower in and it won't overbrew.
Standard instructions for Jasmine include having your water at around 180 degrees and brewing for aprox 2 minutes. It's the blooms that are assorted not the tea flavor. But strong Jasmine Tea is always bitter so you might want to try a lighter brew like this.Hint: If you never liked the way Jasmine Tea tasted because of it's bitterness here's a trick. The best part is that it's practically impossible to overbrew. But NO. Instead of this, try using a lower temperature instead- say 115-120ish and brew for 7 minutes. With these flowers however you don't have to worry about brewing time (unless you like your tea VERY weak) and are free to enjoy the flower until your tea is gone.
