How much fun is flowering tea? The package came with four different types; mint, peach, strawberry and lemon. This was the first one I tried. I can't wait to see the other flowers, for they are all different. I was told I can use the hand tied tea balls 4 separate times. We'll see!
That is neat as heck!!! As well as beautiful!!!!!

Thanks for sharing!
I've never heard of flowering tea. It looks fun and delicious both, and what more could one ask for?
Wow! That's pretty neat! I've never seen one of those before.

:)
So I guess you probably won't add milk or cream huh? (Hehehehe) Very nice.
Love it. Can't wait to find some and to read your follow-up review. Lovely way to start a weekend.
that's cool. i want some. which mall, which store. if you don't mind sharing the scoop ...
Hey, that's great! Now you have to get a clear glass teapot! They were surprisingly good to drink too:)
Cheers, Shelagh
AAAH! Alice in Paris, you joined Salon!! Thank you! And, just last night I was on your site looking at your pictures of tea, that are much more beautiful than mine, of course, and decided I definitely had to have a clear pot. I ordered one up from Teavana, which is where I bought the tea at Old Orchard Mall in Skokie, Illinois. And, no, I won't be adding milk! LOL That thought did cross my mind, however.
My wife and I are big tea lovers. I just bought her a beautiful tea making set for Mother's Day and while visiting my wife's parents my M-I-L gave us some imported green and black teas from Japan that are just amazing. They cost something like $60-$80 per canister.
This blooming floral tea just looks amazing. Wonderful photos.

so do you drink this stuff?
I drank it last night! I was a bit concerned, being a child o the 60's! LOL I wondered when the hallucinations were going to start, but alas, it was only calm and serene! Click on the link in my post to see spectacular pictures of a flowering tea.
Oh, that's so pretty! Tea and flowers, such a good combination.
Alice said it tasted delicious. i'll be over for a cup.
I'll start baking the scones!
Jasmine tea! Oooh you so lucky!
Chicago is so much fun, I am there about once a month anyway. They don't sell this tea where I live, or you can order it online. Drink away!

sorry, meant to also say that there's blooming tea and then there is artistic blooming tea. Other companies: numi, republic of tea and I think the one that is on the Alice blog is the "jasmine arch" found here

marcelleqb, Thank you!!! I was not familiar with this tea until I saw it on Alice's blog, so thanks for letting us know where the options are to purchase.
Is it against the rules to make iced tea from them? Looks incredible.
Never heard of this product until reading your post...Now I have an excellent excuse to head out to Old Orchard for some shopping therapy this week!;-)
Buffy, I think you can do as you like.... Ice tea sounds refreshing! Go for it!
I want some! It's like a little present that opens itself.
