Kitchen & Housewares : Primula Flowering Tea Set with 40-Ounce Pot with Glass LidIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - Primula Flowering Tea SetI ordered Primula Flowering Tea Set for my mother in law for Mother's Day. The original order was sent April the 29th. She did not get it on or before May 11th. I E mailed them and requested they check the order. I got a response that everything was fine. A week later she still had not recieved the gift. In frustration I made the order through Amazon.com and She got the gift less than a week later. I was very pleased and surprised. (although why i should be I'll never know. I have always been pleased With Amazon) The day that she got the tea set she immediatly brewed up a pot. She called me with a full hot mug of tea. She raved about it. How beautiful it was when the flower bloomed. How good the tea tasted and the tea pot itself. She loved it. I will probably order more of these for Christmas gifts this year. I know a lot of tea drinkers that will love them. P.S. I was not able to cancel the order from the original site but as of June 1st it had still not been sent. I Love Amazon.com. Rating: - Great product!If you are a tea lover, this is a great product! The tea tastes ok, but the best thing for me, is the tea pot and the infuser, which you can use with loose tea. It is beautiful to watch the flower through the glass, and the price for the whole kit is unbeatable! Rating: - Great giftThis is a wonderful tea set with delicious tea! My mother-in-law loved it, she had never seen anything like it before. This is a great gift for people that have everything! Rating:  - Nice idea, but...My teapot came with the entire top completely shattered, due to the way it was packed and handled on its way to me. I wish I could rate it more highly, but I never even got to use it. :( I'm going to use the refunded cost to buy a glass pot at a local store and I'll order the tea flowers separately. Rating: - Wonderful and Unique Gift for Yourself and OthersThis is a wonderful, unique gift for anyone who enjoys tea, including yourself. I initially purchased this set as a Christmas gift for a male attorney I work with who very much a tea person. He absolutely loves the entire concept from the flowering tea balls to the different medicinal benefits of each flower. The teas are very flavorful, soothing, fun to watch and one tea ball last sometimes a couple days (we get at least three - four good steeps out of one ball, more if the pot gets emptied quickly). The teas can be purchased at Meijer for $11.99 for the same 12 ball canister that comes with the set (they've been on sale for $9.99). It took us close to three months of brewing this tea almost daily to finish one canister. Tip: The lid to the pot broke, and while you can purchase the lid from the manufacture, the $4.00 lid plus the $8.00 shipping comes to almost half the cost of an entire set. I took a lid from a large Yankee candle jar, removed the plastic seal (the seal holds the scent of the candle), the lid fits perfectly and works equally as well as the original lid, possibly better as it's heaver. (Any lid from a candle jar about that size will likely work). The attorney and our entire office have enjoyed this tea and I too am looking forward to trying the teas iced! Enjoy Ü |
