Blooming Teas

I love drinking tea, which eclipse my love for a strong cup of coffee. One of my fav is called blooming tea. It really brighten you day when it's been a bit gloomy. I hoard mine like some ppl hoard shoes.

Blooming teas comes in many shapes and flavors. The aroma and taste doesn't disappoint. It brings natural elegance to a function. But, because, I can't show you the tea I'm having right now. I bring you a video of a blooming tea in action.

These are fabulous!

I even bought some for my step-mother for her birthday earlier this year.

Totally recommend.

wow, that is totally cool. And to see it unfold has a kinda hypnotic effect!
The downside is that it's rather expensive, isn't it?

And I wonder if you can get this in europe as well...

Depends- poking on the net I saw prices from $2-$5 per tea ball. They seem to be cheaper if you but them by the 10/12 (may even be some less than $2/pot of tea), and there seem to be a few places like this

where you can get singles. It's pricey, but something you can try out for not SO much money.

I don't drink tea, but I might have to start just to enjoy the spectacle of these blooming teas!

I love the Tea Blossoms. I get them when I have to travel to Hong Kong for work.

Oh, that is gorgeous. And it reminds me of a strange alien water plant, which is singularly a good thing.

Also known as 'Display Tea' for those of you looking for alternatives to google. You can also buy a few selections through www.peets.com (the Green Peony is very lush).

They do look cool, but I keep wondering how they are produced and what are the chances of getting a bug in there too?

That is awesome! I've never seen anything like it before. This needs to be tried! *goes to look for places to buy*

love them but

I love these teas but every single little glass teapot that I got with them has shattered as soon as I added the hot water. Now, I do them in my drip coffe maker. Not so pretty but less danger of hot water everywhere.
