Make a dish of this tonight…yes, a DISH! Well, it was more like a bowl! A glass bowl and it bloomed beautifully! The jasmine aroma and green tea really filled up my kitchen. The taste was alright. Not wonderful but ok. The draw is the experience of the bloom and the surprise inside.
4 Tasting Notes
This made a pretty bloom, but unfortunately, this is not the connoisseur’s tea. The teas in the primula line have been subpar so far, but are beautiful when they bloom. This would make for a nice afternoon tea to sip, but it has a bit of a strange taste and does not bode well cup after cup. Others (and so does the package) have claimed that the tea does well in subsequent steeps, but unfortunately it doesn’t become any better, but it doesn’t get any worse in taste after the first steep, maybe more diluted is all.
Our first blooming tea! It is very pretty and we loved watching it. However, we ended up having to add hotter water to get it to bloom fully and the taste is….subpar. Still for a first experience with blooming teas, it was a good one!
bloom is very pretty, but primula’s flowering teas just, quite frankly, are not very good. they’re more jasmine than green tea, take forever to steep, and really cannot be re-steeped, even though the company claims that they can. if the jasmine didn’t make the tea taste old it wouldn’t be as bad, but honestly I wouldn’t buy their flowering teas again.
