Flowering tea balls - Leigha - Mar 7, 2022

I'm into herbal teas as some here may know, and recently discovered 'flowering tea balls,' and have yet to try them. I have a metallic, electric tea pot, so I'd probably have to purchase a see-through glass one so I can get the full experience of watching my tea balls ...bloom.

Have been reading mixed reviews in terms of taste, though. I'm imagining floral tastes and aromas...

Interesting. Also, good to see that the overall terminology has transitioned to the late 1960s. Instead of violent-sounding "cocoa bombs", it's now flower power.

Lol! There are actually hot chocolate “balls” that open like these flower ones but I’ve never tried them. Seems like it’s all about aesthetics, I’m skeptical about the taste.
