primula tea

i have used this tea pot for several years now when i have additional time to really spend drinking and enjoying flowering tea.  these tea buds are very unusual looking but open nicely in a clear pot to form beautiful flowers through the glass kettle.

this product does seem to be a bit pricey, but both their earl grey blends and green tea blends are tasty flavorful tea products.  the glass carafe is quite hot and requires much care compared to one of my standard ceramic pots.  the glass is quite fragile and thin, but allows for the beauty of the tea bud to be admired.
