Primula Flowering Tea Gift Set
A great gift to give or receive, the Primula Flowering Tea Gift Set is perfect for brewing beautiful flowering teas. A clear, 40oz hand-blown borosilicate glass tea pot allows you to watch the magic of the tea leaves brewing delicious green tea as they unfurl into an exquisite flower, or create your own perfect tea blend with the included glass tea infuser.
What is Borosilicate Glass?
Borosilicate glass is made mainly of silica and boron oxide. Known for having low thermal expansion properties, this type of glass is less subject to thermal stress and shock due to temperature extremes. This means that the glass can go from hot to cold and vice versa without risk of cracking or breaking, as well as being microwave, dishwasher, and stovetop safe. Borosilicate glass is a widely used material in cookware and beverageware products due to its heat resistance, durability, and versatility.
Something Extraordinary Is Brewing
The Primula Flowering Tea Gift Set is packaged with a gift canister of 12 flowering teas in a refreshing green tea with jasmine flavor. Grade AA green tea leaves and all-natural flowers are blended 5 times with jasmine for a fresh, aromatic scent, and hand-sewn into small clusters that unfurl and brew when placed into hot water. Because there are no tea bags or filters to remove the beneficial antioxidants and the wonderful flavor of the tea, flowering teas allow you to bring out the best taste of the tea while enjoying the visual experience of the blooming process. Each tea flower comes individually sealed in a foil pouch to preserve freshness, and can be used three times within 24 hours, making up to 15 cups of tea each. Made from the finest natural tea leaves and hand-sewn by Chinese artisans, every Primula tea flower is inspected and certified by CIQ, a specialized Chinese governing agency that works with the approval of the FDA.
How To Brew Flowering Teas
Brewing flowering teas is a wonderful way to enjoy the health benefits of green tea, as well as a delightful visual spectacle
Brewing Flowering Teas:
- Insert 1 tea flower into the hand-blown borosilicate glass tea pot
- Carefully pour boiling water over the tea flower
- Cover the tea pot and enjoy watching the tea flower bloom as the tea brews
- When the tea reaches your desired strength, pour and enjoy!
Primula tea flowers may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours after their first use, and can be brewed up to three times per flower.
Give In To The Power of Tea!
Recent research indicates that including tea in one’s diet has many benefits and helps to maintain a healthy body and mind. Rich in flavonoids (also known as antioxidants), tea helps regulate and neutralize free radicals in the body – substances that can cause damage to the cells, resulting in poor cell regeneration and accelerated cell aging, leading to chronic disease. Tea also contains fluoride, which is integral in maintaining good dental health, and the antioxidants in tea may also prevent the growth of plaque-building bacteria. Virtually calorie-free when consumed without milk and sugar, tea is refreshing & rehydrating in hot weather and warm & soothing during chilly winter months.
Take a moment to enjoy some of life's simple pleasures and enjoy a unique tea time with the Primula Flowering Tea Set, which includes a 40-ounce clear glass tea pot and a canister of flowering teas containing 12 different green tea flowers with jasmine flavor. The durable tea pot holds 5 cups of liquid (40 ounces) and is made out of hand-blown borosilicate glass--the same glass used in laboratories. It is both strong and resistant to temperature extremes, and is also microwave and dishwasher safe. Simply add loose tea in the included infuser and pour through hot water. Removing the infuser is the ideal way to watch Primula's flowering teas in bloom and make tea.
Rather than use tea bags, Primula flowering teas are made by artisans in China and are comprised of hand sewn AA grade Green Tea with all natural flowers. The green tea is blended 5 times with jasmine to make for an aromatic scent. The flowers come in a sealed foil with a 2-1/2-year shelf life, and each flower can be used three times within a 24 hour period. Since the tea pot holds 5 cups of tea, each flower can make 15 cups. 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.

Pleasing to both eye and taste,
By
This review is from: Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot, Clear (Kitchen)
I purchased this set for my sister who loves tea even more than I do. I loved her set so much I went back and bought one for me! The set includes a lovely borosilicate tea pot which makes it versatile. You can use it in your microwave, but you probably won't. The heating and pouring of the water are essential elements of the ritual of tea making.
When you pour the hot water over the hand-tied tea balls, you will witness an enchanting display. The tea balls slowly open into delightful flowers. The pot and infuser are perfectly clear to show off your tea and allow you to easily witness the unfolding of your tea flower. I don't bother with the infuser because the tea balls shed very little during the brewing. Best of all, the tea is delicious. The green tea flavor is robust (through 3 potential infusions) and the jasmine is very subtle. I have since tried other brands but Primula has struck the perfect balance between flavor and beauty. I strongly recommend this set to anyone who loves tea and the soothing ritual of brewing tea. By the way, you should try not to boil the water you use for infusing green teas. The flavor will be negatively affected by boiling hot water. Try to catch the water just before it boils. Small bubbles will start to rise. That's the perfect time to remove the water from the heat and brew your tea. Happy sipping!

Wonderful and Unique Gift for Yourself and Others,
By Morti Mouse (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot, Clear (Kitchen)
This is a wonderful, unique gift for anyone who enjoys tea, including yourself.
I initially purchased this set as a Christmas gift for a male attorney I work with who very much a tea person. He absolutely loves the entire concept from the flowering tea balls to the different medicinal benefits of each flower. The teas are very flavorful, soothing, fun to watch and one tea ball last sometimes a couple days (we get at least three - four good steeps out of one ball, more if the pot gets emptied quickly). The teas can be purchased at Meijer for $11.99 for the same 12 ball canister that comes with the set (they've been on sale for $9.99). It took us close to three months of brewing this tea almost daily to finish one canister. Tip: The lid to the pot broke, and while you can purchase the lid from the manufacture, the $4.00 lid plus the $8.00 shipping comes to almost half the cost of an entire set. I took a lid from a large Yankee candle jar, removed the plastic seal (the seal holds the scent of the candle), the lid fits perfectly and works equally as well as the original lid, possibly better as it's heaver. (Any lid from a candle jar about that size will likely work). The attorney and our entire office have enjoyed this tea and I too am looking forward to trying the teas iced! Enjoy Ü

Beautiful and unbelievable,

This review is from: Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot, Clear (Kitchen)
This product is unbelievable. You just drop the ball in the tea pot with boiling water and it will change in front of your eyes into a beautiful flower. It is great and it would be an awesome gift! The tea pot by itself is very nice and it is easy to pour the tea to a cup. It does not leak.
