Numi flowering tea - after
Originally uploaded by hlkljgk
Our oldest son gave me this tea pot and Numi flowering tea for Christmas.
I had not tried it before. It not only tastes and smells delicious but when it is brewed in the clear glass pot, it looks like a sculptural work of art.
The flavors in the set he gave me are Shooting Star, Sunset Oolong, Golden Sunset, Dragon Lily, Jasmine Lovers and Lavender Dream.
Flowering tea is an art form made of hand picked tea leaves sewn around various flowers. This can take 10 minutes to sew the tea bundle. When steeped they slowly blossom into a bouquet.
Numi is the name of the tea company and they pioneered this technique. The ingredients are organic.
This is new to me and way wonderful.

We received a similar pot with tea flowers. They give quite a show and the tea is delicious.
Wow, sounds, and looks awesome. I love tea.
did it taste alright though? I have often wondered if they taste as good as regular leaf tea?

Very pretty! I bet it tasted great too.
How fun and pretty :) I would love something like this to serve to guests. Thanks for sharing!

I also saw this before. I had lost the name of the tea. It is such an interesting idea. Thanks for reminding me.
How neat...I had never heard of this. You are right...its very pretty in your pot....thanks for sharing dear friend....blessings
Oh Terra, that is absolutely beautiful. Makes a lovely centerpiece, and then to have something so delicious to drink.
What a thoughtful gift from your son.
Terra, what a beautiful gift! One of my friends had a tea party once and had something very similar, that 'blossomed.' It was so beautiful!
Thank you for stopping by my Nana's Hutch post. Baby has been forgiven. She is forgiven every day for some sort of mischief! haha
Have a great weekend!

i don't drink tea, but this is stunning and i would like to have it just to look at. how long will it stay like it is in the photo. thanks for stopping by my post.
Hello:
What a wonderful gift! As you say, the tea whilst steeping in its water is a sculptural form and all the more fascinating for it. We are afraid to say that we are not very adventurous with tea, sticking with Twining's Breakfast Tea for years. However a friend recently ordered 'Pink Tea' in a rather swish tea room in Brighton recently and we had to say that it looked [and he said tasted] absolutely delicious.
I have never heard of this, and really need to check it out! It really is quite pretty, isn't it?
What will they think of next!
I've got it on my wish list on Amazon...so prettie....
Terra,
This tea pot is so pretty and unique. I love that it is clear and you can see the tea brewing. Thank you for your heartfelt comment about my mom, and I'm so sorry you lost your mom at the age of 54. I'm o.k, and she is always in my heart, but as you know....losing a mom is very hard at times.

Lovely! I have something similar to this and it's pretty amazing watching the flower unfold-- you can't help but relax as you watch.
Happy New Year. jj

Wow, I would be making tea and not drinking it as I would prefer to sit and look at it in the pot. Fantastic. Diane

I just read about these teas somewhere online and seeing a picture is wonderful!!!

I am not a tea drinker but saw these on the internet and think it's a wonderful idea! It makes that treat ever better with the bouquet for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
I love these...not only are they pretty but they taste great! Enjoy the beauty of this tea!
Oooh, I love brewing tea, and this looks great! Thanks for commenting on my Mondays Mural!
