These hand-crafted blooms taste just as lovely as they look. Each little
wonder contains a beautiful blossom of lily and jasmine flowers. Just
drop a ball into your glass teapot, watch it unfold, and meditate over
the fresh aroma of sophisticated lychee.
But the real surprise comes in your cup, as these particular blooms
come loaded with a big fruity burst of flavour. Could life be more zen?
Each bag contains one bloom.
Price: $2.50 per bloom... Because of a 40% discount, I paid $1.50 per bloom instead.
Preparations: 1 bloom, 208 degrees F, 7-10 min
- I questioned at first whether or not a bloom would be worth it... But I assure you, it's well worth the price, especially if you have guests or family members who enjoy drinking tea together. It's beautiful watching the ball bloom into a flower as it soaks up the hot water (if you have a glass teapot), and it lasts quite a few steeps so that one bloom is enough to sustain an entire afternoon with company.
- Mm... you can practically taste the caffeine. Haha. What I mean is that: it tastes just like a black tea... just the way it should.
- I thought that the "artificial lychee flavor" added in would be a little off-putting, but it really wasn't. In fact, it was quite refreshing because you could smell lychee as the tea was made, but the taste was very subtle and not at all distracting. I could taste more jasmine than lychee, and the fragrance was really nice, didn't smell or taste artificial.
- Recommended for tea connoisseurs! I absolutely loved it. But I think it's one of those rare things to savor and enjoy while it lasts, so I probably won't splurge on these blooms. It's a nice thing to try once in a while though.
