My friend and coworker, Sue, gave me this
Tea... ***************Rhapsody tumbler as a Christmas gift. I've used it several times for making tea with tea bags. Recently, Sue gave me two tea balls. These hand-tied teas bloom into a beautiful flower as they steep.
**************These are the hand-tied tea balls that Sue bought at a Teavana store in Milwaukee last week.
I put one of the Blooming Peach tea balls in my tea tumbler and added near boiling water.
The ball bloomed as promised.
********I took the blossom from the tumbler after several minutes. Sue told me I can reuse it a few times before it loses its flavor.
Lastly, I sipped the delicious tea, and found I was "opening the doors to health, wisdom and happiness," Teavana's promise.

Besides all that, it had a very pleasant taste. I'm looking forward to another cup tomorrow.

P.S. I posted this yesterday, Saturday. Today is Sunday. I had a second tumbler of tea today using the opened blossom from yesterday's tea. I took the photo at the top of my blog today. Look at it now! I fear I took the blossom out of the hot water too soon yesterday and didn't allow it to do it's thing. Now it's much prettier than it was before.

Thanks for the tip :)
Vanessa: You're welcome. The Teavana website is awesome. I could spend hours browsing through all of their products.
It's so lovely how it somehow 'blooms' in the hot water!
Lovely weekend Shaddy dear!

Yikes! What's that alien life form growing in your tap water???
Lenore: It's something different alright.
Gully: It kind of creeped me out at first too but I kept telling myself: it's a beautiful blooming flower; it's lovely and naturally wonderful and oh so good for me. Then I relaxed and enjoyed the unique tea-drinking experience. (It's mind over matter, you know).
'Twould be matter over mind for me, Shaddy.
To all: It's Sunday and I just added the top photo to this post. The result is much grander than yesterday's try.
This is another example of "live and learn."
ummmm. I love tea. What a beautiful way to brew it. Such a lovely gift, it is pleasing to the eye and taste. I can only imagine tea that beautiful must also have a wonderful aroma.
Oh I want one!!!!!!!!!
