Relax with a soothing cup of tea with a unique twist when you steep Primula's Flowering White Tea with Peppermint. Rather than use tea bags, Primula flowering teas are made by artisans in China and are comprised of hand sewn AA grade White Tea that's blended with natural peppermint flavor. This package includes only white tea with 12 different color flower arrangements. For ultimate teatime enjoyment, pair Primula's flowering tea with one of its clear, glass teapots to view the unfolding beauty.
Each flower can be used three times within a 24 hour period and can brew a total of approximately 15 cups of tea--for over 250 cups of tea in this package. The flowers come in a sealed foil with a 2-1/2-year shelf life. All of Primula Flowering Teas are made from the finest all natural tea leaves, but it is not certified organic, and it is inspected and certified by CIQ, a special Chinese governing agency that works with the approval of the FDA.
Does the tea have Caffeine?
Tea's caffeine level is based mostly on the amount of time that the tea is cooked. Typically, darker (more cooked) teas have higher levels of caffeine. Green Tea contains approximately one quarter of the caffeine found in the same size cup of coffee, while White Tea contains approximately half of the caffeine of Green Tea.
How long do I have to brew my tea for?
Personal preference is the only rule. We recommend 5-7 minutes per pot, but it's best to experiment to find out your own preference first.
How do I re-brew my flower?
We recommend using each Primula Tea Flower up to 3 times in a 24 hour period. After you have enjoyed your first pot of tea, just pour hot water back over the flower and allow it to brew to your desired strength. Many people say that the second pot of tea actually produces the best flavor.
Product Description
A true visual delight. Primula Flowering Teas are hand sewn by artisans in China. The finest AA Grade white tea leaves area wrapped around all natural flowers to create an encapsulated pod. Simply place the tea pod in the bottom of the tea pot or mug. Pour boiling water over the tea pod. As the tea steeps the pod will unfurl into a colorful flower. A clear, glass tea pot is recommended to fully enjoy the stunning, floral display. However, the tea flower works just as well in your favorite mug. This unique, specially chosen blend of white tea with peppermint is the same for all 12 flowers included. The flower for each bloom is different and will create a different visual experience each time. Primula tea flowers are individually foil sealed with a 2-1/2-year shelf life. Each tea flower will steep 3 times and makes 15 cups of tea. Each Tea flower can be stored in the covered teapot or a plastic container, and kept in the refrigerator until you want to re-steep it one or two more times.

Slightly Minty ...,

This review is from: Primula 12-Pack Flowering White Tea with Peppermint (Kitchen)
As Erma Bombeck once said, it was a "pantyhose on backward" kind of day. Raining outside and maybe a little bit inside, too.
I had been trying the different Primula flowering teas and had held back on this one, mostly because I enjoyed the others so well. But, my nose was stuffed up, and what was better than peppermint? This turned out to be much milder than many of the peppermint teas I have enjoyed in the past (all of the primula white teas I have tried have been very mild.) Like the others, it had a hint of jasmine, and a very light tea flavor. I know all of the flowers are different, but the first one I used had a pink "clover" with the white flowers attached. It was lovely. As I mentioned the peppermint was more of a hint than an overpowering scent, so I picture this more for a mild, sunny afternoon than for the rainy day I chose. While I purchased the actual Primula pot to brew the teas, they are also very lovely in a clear coffee carafe! And, while I enjoyed this particular version, my favorite so far has been the peach flavored tea.

This review is from: Primula 12-Pack Flowering White Tea with Peppermint (Kitchen)
I got this tea as a gift. I'm not a big fan of mint, but this tea is addictive after the first cup or two! The mint flavor is strong but not overpowering, so it's very pleasant and comforting. I do add some sweetener, but not as much as some other teas. I will be buying more of this one!

This review is from: Primula 12-Pack Flowering White Tea with Peppermint (Kitchen)
It's the 'flowering' part that makes the flowering teas stand apart from the teas most of us are used to - loose tea or the various type of teabags. I like the way the little pod expands into something resembling a sea urchin or anemone but, after all, it's 'tea' that I want to drink. And the tea is not so bad.
Dropping a pod into the Primula Black 40-Ounce Teapot Includes Loose Tea Infuser and 3 Flowering Green Teas would produce 40 oz. of delicate, quite acceptable white tea enhanced with a hint of peppermint blended in. And, once you're done then... repeat and... repeat again. The third batch was still good to drink tea and the flower inside the pot was still relatively intact. I haven't tried a 4th but the instruction suggest that you only use one pod 3 times. It's probably worth mentioning that my order came with a free Lung Ching loose green tea packet (4 g.) and a number of coupons indicating that Primula is very seriously into tea making - selling teapots, loose tea and tea flowers for all occasions. Coming back to my specific 12-pack, it should be understood that, like green tea but even more so, white tea is an acquired taste - it's more delicate, not as 'grassy' as green tea and I prefer it myself but it does take some getting used to. White teas are made out of younger leaves and buds as opposed to green or black teas that use older leaves. It undergoes less oxidation and, apparently, it has more mood-balancing, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-viral benefits when compared to green tea. For best results, white tea should be made with 180°F water and steeped for 2 to 3 minutes - let the water go to a boil, then wait for a few minutes before pouring it in. Concluding, I found the flowering part to be a nice touch. According to a co-worker of mine who happens to be from China, the flowering teas are not a Chinese tradition. They don't really drink 'flowering teas' over there because the stitching process would make them way too expensive but, if paid, the Chinese farmers don't mind doing this for Primula. The tea quality is good, the flowers are nice (but not as nice as the pictures show) and the price is a little bit on the upside - but remember that you can get up to 120 oz. of tea out of each pod. Overall, a 4 star rating is well earned.
