Choi Time Review - Exotic Mixed Flowers

Yet another fancy free sample to try. I could get used to this life.

This time we have the Exotic Mixed Flowers variety which is another of their Giant Flowering Bulbs

As the last giant bulb I tried was pretty dramatic I decided to ignore all my pretty little teacups and use a large wine glass instead.

I know.

Pretty radical, but stick with it.

So here we have the bulb in the glass, it's pretty large and it's not actually that pretty. It looks like a rolled up ball of some dull plant. But, let's just see shall we?


So the water is added and it's pretty dull


Still a bit dull, yawn


Hang about - what's this?


OMG, as the cool kids say - that is one gorgeous looking flower

These bulbs open up into the most striking flowers. Anyone looking for tea with the 'wow factor' should certainly consider looking into these for the appearance alone. 

Now we come to the taste, an it's really the taste of good quality Jasmine Green Tea.  It's more expensive than the bags you get in the supermarket, but I think you can see why.

I topped this little beauty up a few times and I wasn't disappointed in the flavour. The flower started to fall apart as the tea steeped for an hour or so, but I think that's to be expected. It's osmosis isn't it? Let's pretend I'm clever and that it is.

Anyway, do you want some? Or are the pictures enough for you?
