This was my first “blooming” tea. This was fun to watch the little ball of green tea bloom and release a string of what I believe are jasmine flowers. (That was a surprise.. I didn’t expect jasmine!) I’m surprised the longer steep time to watch the flower unfurl didn’t make the flavor of the tea bitter. The flavor is great too! Green tea with jasmine. Very fresh, grassy with a lingering floral flavor. Sadly, I watched the hauntingly creepy movie ‘Eraserhead’ so the bloom might have reminded me of odd bits and pieces from that movie. Seriously, what is the deal with that movie? But I won’t let it ruin this tea!
