I know I've just recently reviewed a flowering tea, but, today I received a lovely package through the post. Flora Tea kindly, actually, very kindly, sent me a lovely package which included a glass for flowering tea, a box of flowering tea, and some fabulous information about their tea, plus, a really wonderful handwritten note!
Flora tea specialise in flowering tea and they even featured in a episode of Dragon's Den UK.
As you can see below, their packaging is bright, inviting and modern, and it really appealed to me. I love the simplicity of the packaging and it's fresh crispness.
Flora Tea has also won numerous great taste awards. I can understand why!
I was wondering what flavour tea I should try first, so I opted for Lily Fairy. I'm going to add photographs now of the flowering process. It's really pretty!
Here is a photograph of Lily Fairy, before I've added the water.
This is the tea as soon as I've added water and it's settled down.
You can just start to see the lily appearing!
It's uncurling now to reveal a lovely pink flower in addition to the lily.
All of a sudden the flower suddenly pops right out of it's hand tied package. Isn't it beautiful?
I really loved watching the flowering process. But, as well as watching the tea flower, I enjoyed the gorgeous aroma.
I'm currently obsessed not only with green tea, but with Jasmine tea as well, so as this is a green tea with jasmine, well, it's as near as perfection as I can get!
After watching the flower for a brief time, I sat down to try the tea. The glass got quite hot, so I let it cool for a few minutes and then took my first wonderful sip of this luxurious tea.
It is utterly delightful. The taste of jasmine is so strong, but fragrant and tasty. I do think jasmine flavour in tea takes a little bit of getting used to but it's something that appealed to me since I started drinking it, and in my opinion, the stronger, the better!
I loved this tea because it's crisp and refreshing. It was quite warm when I tried this tea, and it cooled me down immediately. It was lovely just to sit for ten minutes, in the peace and quiet, and enjoy this marvelous drink. It had a sweetness to it that I found pleasant.
Lily Fairy makes for a really wonderful cup (or glass, in this instance!) of tea. It's floral taste, and slightly herbal element of green tea is just plain gorgeous.
This tea, and you may think this odd, had a calming affect on me. I'm prone to worrying and fretting about things (normally that I have no control over!) but as I sipped and sipped at this tea, I felt really relaxed and at ease. It was a marvelous feeling and one I enjoyed.
Flora Tea's Lily Fairy made a huge impression on me. It looked utterly beautiful, tasted divine and had a wonderful calming affect on me. It's utterly stunning and I do consider myself fortunate to have been able to try this tea.
I'd also like to mention Simon, and the Flora Tea team who are so lovely. The friendly letter that was included in my unexpected parcel really made my day. I can only judge by the lovely emails and letter that I have received, but they seem like a wonderful group of people, who are, quite fairly, extremely proud of the items they sell.
Please visit Flora Tea's website for more information on Lily Fairy and the rest of the flowering tea's they have. It's a fun website, and you'll see exactly what awards they have won for what items.
I'd like to take the chance to thank Simon and the Flora Tea team for the lovely parcel and their encouragement towards this blog.
