Primula Tea

Lovely packaging, bloom, and slight to medium jasmine scent. Light in color. Delicate taste. You can smell and taste both the green tea AND the Jasmine. Very Nice. It says 3 steeps but I think I can get more. 1steep great. Other steeping resulting coming soon…

Wow, I dunno if I messed up the prep somehow, but this batch was just awful. Didn’t get any peach flavoring and just, yuck.

Instructions were a little vague on the side of the canister; the other blooms I’ve had instructed the explicit use of boiling water to make the tea, but this particular bloom was a white tea. So to be safe, I used sub-boiling water and steep for about 3 minutes. As I hoped, the blossom fanned out with time, but unfortunately, the flower within appeared withered and damaged, and didn’t spread out as nicely as I hoped. The tea itself was lighter than most of the non-black teas I’ve consumed lately, and had a slightly vegetative taste to it, almost like a green tea. Peach flavoring tasted a bit artificial though. 3/5

This is so beautiful. It’s not my favorite flavor but the beauty is beyond worth the not so fresh taste.
