The 'blooming' flowers are beautiful, very aromatic, taste fantastic - and you really can make several pots of tea with each one. Price is pretty good too. I bought these teas to give as gifts - because a friend had given me a set of 12 and they are wonderful. The second pot gets darker than the first and I think we've made as many as four pots of tea from one flower.
Very smooth taste and can be used again and again in the same day. This tea is fun to watch as the flower expands in the water. If you love tea, you gotta try these "flowering teas"
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. This was a gift for my Daughter. 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.
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. What you'll get is a tea with all the Jasmine and none of the bitterness. The makers thought ahead and made it so that you can leave the flower in and it won't overbrew. It's the blooms that are assorted not the tea flavor. But NO. Standard instructions for Jasmine include having your water at around 180 degrees and brewing for aprox 2 minutes.
Instead of this, try using a lower temperature instead- say 115-120ish and brew for 7 minutes. They are all Jasmine. 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. 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. 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. Assorted Green Tea Flowers should be called Assorted Jasmine Green Tea Flowers.
The best part is that it's practically impossible to overbrew. 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.
