Product Description A true visual delight. Primula Flowering Teas are hand sewn by artisans in China. The finest AA Grade white tea leaves area wrapped around all natural flowers to create an encapsulated pod. Simply place the tea pod in the bottom of the tea pot or mug. Pour boiling water over the tea pod. As the tea steeps the pod will unfurl into a colorful flower. A clear, glass tea pot is recommended to fully enjoy the stunning, floral display. However, the tea flower works just as well in your favorite mug. This unique, specially chosen blend of white tea with vanilla is the same for all 12 flowers included. The flower for each bloom is different and will create a different visual experience each time. Primula tea flowers are individually foil sealed with a 2-1/2-year shelf life. Each tea flower will steep 3 times and makes 15 cups of tea. Each Tea flower can be stored in the covered teapot or a plastic container, and kept in the refrigerator until you want to re-steep it one or two more times.

Flowering Tea June 26, 2010 idontgetoutmuch (Chicago, IL USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Really nice, smooth flavor with a lovely light vanilla overtone; nice scent, love the beautiful unfolding flower - plus different colors and flowering designs come in one box, same flavor. Makes many cups of tea with refills of hot water in the pot. Any leftover tea can be kept in the refrigerator with more water added later on. Tastes great hot or cold. I used the suggestion of buying a replacement glass coffee maker pot in order to see the unfolding flower design; it's very inexpensive and seems a much better alternative to buying a pricey glass teapot - none of the teapots have gotten good reviews for sturdiness or longevity. You get a LOT of tea from each flower, so the price is quite reasonable and much more fun than a teabag or loose tea in a strainer.
They do "Bloom" but the tea is weak April 28, 2010 Scott (NJ) I find these tea flowers amazing to watch bloom and try to figure out how they were made. The tea is on the weak side, but some will feel that is ok. They look very small in their packages but they do bloom larger.
Artisan tasty tea January 20, 2010 Ken McSwain (Fulton MO) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This product is amazing. It smells great and has a gentle vanilla/flower taste.
It is an assortment of vanilla floral white teas, each different in appearance. Instructions say that each foil bag is good for three, 5 cup pots. That's OK but 5 cups of water is not enough to enjoy the beauty of this little ball of tea as it unfurls and reveals the flower and leaves inside. I use 12 cups in a clear glass coffee carafe, and watch the art unfurl before my eyes. The second pot I made had an inner stalk inside the flower that reached all the way to the top of the water when unfurled. Each flowering tea becomes a unique work of art. Be sure to use a clear glass pot and settle for 12 cups instead of 15, each pot progressively weaker. I just leave the flower in until the pot is empty. Works for me.
Delicious and beautiful! January 7, 2010 C. Evans-Durbin (Sacramento) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm not a big tea drinker, but my Mom IS! She loves the blooming tea. It not only tastes great, but it's a beautiful display and a great conversation starter at her parties, and for her clients! (She's a Bowen therapist.)
Fun to watch and tastes good too December 29, 2009 M. Dowling (New Jersey) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
These teas are fun and I think they make great gifts. They come in a small dehydrated ball which blooms into a pretty flower in hot water. They are best enjoyed in a glass teapot (though I do not recommend the Primula black plastic & glass one). They taste good and are fun to watch bloom.
