Blooming Teas. . .not a tea that I can honestly say I’ve had a lot of. I’ve tried them in the past and I could never get them to bloom like the pictures shown. But when our package of samples arrived from Kiss Me Organics, I was ready to try the blooming tea scenario again.
Kiss Me Organics offers a lovely flavored blooming tea assortment with flavors like cherry, strawberry, and sugar melon. I couldn’t resist checking these teas out so I set to prepping my water. Per the instructions, I used a glass tea pot so I could watch the blooming tea in action and used freshly boiled water. I allowed the tea to steep for the recommended time.
First infusion I can’t say the tea fully bloomed but what I can say is that this tea delivered on a delicious fresh clean melon flavor with a solid buttery like finish. This tea was smooth and crisp. Dare I even say dessert like. I couldn’t put my cup down and was surprised by how fast I gulped (and I must emphasize the word GULP there) the tea down.
The second infusion was about the same. The tea didn’t flower completely like I thought it would but the brew was insanely delicious. My cup was emptied just as fast as the first go around. Again, I was greeted with this delicious fresh clean smooth melon flavor. I’m not sure why I kept thinking clean but the taste was still as crisp as the first infusion, which made me happy. Like drinking a cup full of sunshine.
I ended up having several infusions of this wonderfully uplifting brew. The flower did end up blooming and I think I ended up getting close to ten infusions from this one blooming tea.
If you are a fan of melon flavors, I recommend checking this tea out. I’ve tried a few other blooming teas out of this assortment, and the Sugar Melon so far is my favorite. I was hoping you could get just a package of Sugar Melon Blooming Teas from Kiss Me Organics, but right now the only offer an assortment.
Regardless, this tea is one I’m now craving and will need to get more of. And with spring right around the corner, this would be a fun tea to share that has more of an airy light flavor instead of the heavier flavors of winter. Plus the blooming part of this tea is just fun and unusual from the rest of the teas I typically drink.
