I received the Teaposy Garden Set for two & am terribly disappointed! First, the tea cups were no bigger than espresso cups- maybe 3oz., but the site does not state, so how would one know? Second, the tea pot was as tiny as one from a child's tea set, & sadly, is covered with Teaposy graffiti. Last, but not least & most important, I did not receive the flowering buds...pretty much the entire selling point for this set. I do not recommend buying this item, unless it's for child's play.

I had never seen a Teaposy tea blossom before so I really had no idea what to expect when I took it out of the package. It looked like a large, oddly shaped pellet of sorts that was rolled up tight with one end that was tightly tied with a strip of tea leaf. I placed it into the glass teapot (which was very pretty!) and poured in boiling water, as directed.



I was a little hesitant about pouring boiling water into a glass vessel, especially one that looked as delicate as the Teaposy pot did. It held up quite nicely, however, and as mentioned on the company's website it is heat resistant.


I did not notice an immediate change in the tea 'ball' and stepped out of the room for a moment to deal with a puppy who was terrorizing my house and when I returned a few minutes later a beautiful blossom was steeping in the tea pot!


The only issue I had with the Teaposy pot was that I tried to take the lid off after steeping and the handle of the lid was rather hot. It is not necessary to take off the lid, I just wanted to stick my face in there and get a better view of the blossom! The handle to the pot itself stayed completely cool!


I love that the blossoms are made from white tea which has very little caffeine and is very high in antioxidants. I am also thrilled that no artificial flavors are used in scenting the tea!


If I could suggest one change to the company it would be to find a more ecologically friendly way to package their teas. Each one comes vacuum sealed in a plastic type envelope and I would love some kind of packaging that was biodegradable.


Overall, I was thrilled with this product and highly recommend it for anyone who is a true fan of tea!


Discaimer: I was provided with one Teaposy pot and a selection of teas in order to write my review. All opinions expressed here are mine and mine alone.

This is a delightful set. The tea pot has nice size to accomidate the flowering teas. The tea selection itself is not only lovely, is very tasty. Cut little tea cups with saucers. A very nice value, for a very lovely tea party.

This is a nice gift if you do not know what to get someone. Unforunately it has the logo printed on the pot and cups. It could have been an elegant pot and cups, but with the logos it is very tacky. The cups are very small. I ordered the tea blossoms as well, not realizing they came with the set. Together it was $75, a bit too expensive for what you get.
