Beautiful Teapot and it Works Great with Loose Leaf Tea September 1, 2008
I picked up one of these at my local supermarket (it was absolutely irresistable)along with some loose leaf Jasmine tea - Wow! It has definite health benefits - after drinking a couple of teapots full over a couple of days - I felt a lot healthier - maybe it's the anti-oxidants in the tea... here's a link to the actual tea: The Tao Of Tea Hand Crafted Green Tea Jasmine Pearls Mou Li Hua Cha, 4-Ounce Tin (Pack of 2)
TIP: The instructions say DO NOT pour boiling hot water onto the tea because it "burns" the tea and makes it bitter. It says you should wait about 2 minutes, for it to cool very slightly THEN pour it.
I tried this and YES! there is a HUGE taste difference when you pour boiling water - the tea does taste bitter... amazing eh?
This tea pot is very beautiful and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Lovely teapot, beautiful blooms! August 24, 2008
I love a good pot of tea, and this wonderful set provides beauty to the brewing process, beyond compare. I really love the glass teapot and infuser, it is just the right size, and this gift set is great because it comes with a cannister of twelve flowering teas (with many varied flowers!), so you can use it the minute you open the box!
I gave this set a five star rating mostly based on the teapot itself, and on the entire blooming tea experience. For my tastes, I must warn you that the Primula Jasmine green tea that comes with the set has very little, if any, jasmine flavor. I am used to using a good quality jasmine pearl green tea (such as Rishi, but there are many other brands which you can also purchase here on Amazon in the grocery department), so I enjoy a healthy amount of jasmine flavor in my tea.
I am not saying that the green tea that comes with this set is poor quality, just that it is extremely weak in jasmine flavor. In truth, I couldn't even detect it at all. So the experience of the tea for me is closer to just drinking a decent quality Chinese green tea, without any flavor enhancers. If I was rating the jasmine tea that comes with the set, I would only give the tea three stars, by itself. I am going to shop around and perhaps try some of the other blooming tea brands to see if I can find one that more closely matches my own taste.
Despite that, I am very happy that I purchased this lovely set, and I am just about to buy another one as a gift for favorite sister-in-law. Enjoy!
Great Shower or Birthday gift June 22, 2008
This is probably one of the nicest gift ideas I have come across in a long time. It is unique, right in line with the big tea craze today, and would probably NOT be one of those duplicate gifts that everyone, especially at showers, seems to get. Great buy.
Excellent Tea and Teapot June 19, 2008
I got this teapot as a gift from my sister in law and niece. The flowering tea is fun to watch, the tea tastes awesome, and the teapot works great.
Very happy with all parts of this product. Highly recommended. Makes an excellent gift that is very useful.
