Primula Tea

Wow, I dunno if I messed up the prep somehow, but this batch was just awful. Didn’t get any peach flavoring and just, yuck.

Instructions were a little vague on the side of the canister; the other blooms I’ve had instructed the explicit use of boiling water to make the tea, but this particular bloom was a white tea. So to be safe, I used sub-boiling water and steep for about 3 minutes. As I hoped, the blossom fanned out with time, but unfortunately, the flower within appeared withered and damaged, and didn’t spread out as nicely as I hoped. The tea itself was lighter than most of the non-black teas I’ve consumed lately, and had a slightly vegetative taste to it, almost like a green tea. Peach flavoring tasted a bit artificial though. 3/5

This is so beautiful. It’s not my favorite flavor but the beauty is beyond worth the not so fresh taste.
