Now this post does exactly what it says on the tin and is about tea - shocker!
I'm a massive tea fanatic and love to try tea from all over the world. Two years ago I spent a few weeks in Vietnam and picked up rose tea, Vietnamese tea and artichoke tea (an acquired taste!) and loved the variety. I drink a lot of fruit teas in the uk and am always on the hunt for new flavours on trips abroad.
For Christmas my wonderful dad bought me a gorgeous glass tea pot with some mango marigold flowering tea from www.exoticteapot.co.uk who offer a fabulous selection of tea's and tea-wear (completely made that word up trying to sound like a tea connoisseur!).
I tried a flowering tea once before on a birthday trip to a local Chinese restaurant and have been taken with it ever since.
The flavour is very delicate and I absolutely love watching the flower bloom in the tea.
Que a stream of photos of the flower blooming...

If you love tea I would definitely give this a try whether it's for a relaxing evening on your own or after a dinner party with friends it's a great finish to any evening!
Until my next exciting tea adventure ......
