My first flowering tea thanks to Teavivre! I chose to get this one because lilies are my favorite flower.
I had to steep it in a pyrex measuring glass because I have no other vessel suited for this, but it worked out just fine. And it was so cool!
I was almost expecting not to like it because I don’t really care for floral teas, but this is just right. It’s not very floral, it’s more like the petals add sweetness to the green tea. It also tones the jasmine down, so I like this even more. It is a very clean flavor. I steeped it again and I’m going to drink it cold tomorrow. It could probably hold up to several more steeps but it’s too late to get into that right now sadly :(
I think more of these will have to be purchased when I order from Teavivre…
oh flowering tea’s had a few ages ago, its wonderful to watch :)
There is something very peaceful about watching them open :)
Flower teas are ace. I love bringing them out at the end of meals with the family, partly to wash the food down with but also just as entertainment in their own right.
