    I’ve waited a long time to get this set as it was very expensive when it first came out. It was well worth the wait, actually would’ve been well worth the cash had I spent it earlier. Amazon has a really low price on this.

    The clear glass teapot holds about 16oz when full. Each tea flower will make 3 pots. The 3rd pot of tea is as good as the first, the 4th is weak.

    The tea itself is excellent. Some of the best I’ve tasted and I’m very particular about the tea I drink. I’ve been enjoying the variety that came with the pot – haven’t found one I’ve disliked yet and it is fun trying them all.

    Since you will get about 6 cups of tea with each tea flower – they are all beautiful, I put the teapot on the table while the tea steeps so every can enjoy it. You will want to drink this with family or friends.

    The whole set comes packaged nicely in a bamboo box that looks handmade. The box is pretty enough to be re-used for something else. The variety of tea is in a smaller bamboo box.

    If you are looking for Christmas gifts, this would be an awesome one.

    I got this set a few weeks ago, and have tried most of the teas that came with it.
    The teapot itself is somewhat fragile (especially if you are used to Beehouse brand), but is well worth the extra care. After the novelty of flowering tea wears out, you will still be able to amaze your guests with the beautiful sight of tea leaves unfolding into a gorgeous flower.
    This is not your every day after-work-relaxing experience for several reasons. Cost, for one. The flavor of the tea itself is also not what you are used to. If you are a serious tea gourmand, you might be put off by the exotic experience, and you might have a better teapot for your cherished first flush darjeeling (or silver needle, for that matter): the glass looses heat very rapidly, and the strainer that comes with the teapot is a joke at best.
    For what it is, however, this is an excellent addition to any kitchen (an especially good gift for a tea lover who has everything). I ended up buying Bodum glass teacups to match this teapot, and using it more for decorative purposes.

    This is a wonderful item! I bought it when I first heard about flowering tea. It’s a great starter kit because it comes with 9 different kinds of tea–all of which are beautiful to watch and delicious to drink. Now that I bought this set, I know which ones are my favorites.

    I made my first pot of flowering tea when I was having a very bad day, and the simple act of brewing this tea and admiring the beautiful shapes and colors made me feel so much better. It sort of turns a normal pot of tea into an event!

    I plan to buy this again to give as a gift. I love it.
