Take a moment to enjoy some of life’s simple pleasures and enjoy a unique tea time with the Primula Flowering Tea Set, which includes a 40-ounce clear glass tea pot and a canister of flowering teas containing 6 different green tea flowers with jasmine flavor. It also comes with a loose tea variety pack that includes Oolong tea (the tea served in traditional Chinese restaurants), English Breakfast (the most popular tea), and Lung Ching tea (grown in the high mountains of Fuijan).

This is a wonderful item for someone experienced or new to tea. This pot is worth the price along and there is SOOO much tea in the box. The flowers are beautiful and we really enjoyed tasting all the teas. It’s cool to watch the water boil on the stove.
I bought this because it was on sale and I had just brought a bunch of teas home from China. I wanted to see how they developed in the pot so the “on sale at amazon” offer was very timely. The pot is great but the “flowering” teas that are included are pretty weak. In fact the ad and instructions say you can brew their teas 3x over the course of 24 hours (I’m not sure who does that type of thing or for what reason someone would do that – it’s not a part of my tea-brewing experience) but I suspect this statement is made to justify the high cost of the teas Primula is offering. If you are intrigued by pretty flowering displays but don’t care a lot about the taste of your teas I’d recommend this tea & pot combination. If you just want a transparent pot I’d recommend this purchase. If you are looking for great tasting teas look elsewhere.
I saw this beautiful product on Amazon.com while I was searching for the perfect gift for my daughter’s bridal shower. I was looking for a gift that would appeal to both the young and old guests we were hosting at our very special tea party. All of my guests were tea-lighted when they realized that the beautiful centerpieces that I used to decorate the tables were actually their take-away gifts. Not only did we get to enjoy a variety of delicious teas at the party, but I am still hearing raves from all of my friends as to how much they are enjoying the teas in their own homes.
I first learned about blooming tea from a friend who just came from Hongkong. She gave me a box too and it took my breath away. I also gave blooming tea to my friends and relatives and they all loved it. It is a very good house warming gift for everyone.
