Sunday morning tea is often a flowering tea in our house. I picked this practically at random from my tin of Teavivre’s flowering teas. The bloom is lovely and reminiscent of spring. It displays well in the glass teapot. The liquor is pale, buttery and with a hint of pepper. It’s sweet and refreshing, and you can really taste the silver needles in it.

Flavors: Butter, Peppercorn

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C

i love how teavivre flowering teas actually taste so good! I’ve had many from other companies that are almost tasteless or turn bitter in no time.

I totally agree, TeaFairy. This one was particularly good because it had greater depth of flavour than others I have had. It seems like some manufacturers focus too much on the visual aesthetic rather than the whole experience. After all, you don’t make it solely to look at it. Teavivre have produced a good one here.

I am a qualified peripatetic berserkerologist peddling berserkjaknowledge at the University of Nottingham.

My favourite teas are Darjeelings, sheng puerhs and Anji Bai Cha. I return to these every time, after whatever flirtation with other teas I have been involved with.

I no longer rate the teas I drink because keeping ratings consistent proved to be rather hard work while not really giving me anything in return.
