Win Blooming Flower Tea Today

February 10, 2010 | Giveaway |

Hello, Blake Makers. For some of you, this may be your first time back here in some time. Things got a little quiet, but I’m back. I’m planning to do free food giveaways every Wednesday, and I’m starting them back up with this little giveaway from Adagio Teas.

Blake Tastes

I’m sort of getting into tea lately. I’ve been drinking Nettle tea for a while, because I’ve read extensively about how it pulls toxins from your body. It may all be in my head, but I feel way better when I drink a cup of tea a day. I discovered Adagio a couple of years ago, and I love their site. They have every tea imaginable (not nettle, ironically), and I’ve enjoyed getting their little tin containers of loose tea.

I’m on their mailing list, and I got an e-mail from them a couple of weeks ago. They were promoting the blooming teas you see above, so I e-mailed them back, and asked if I could share with my dear Blake Makers.

This tea is special. First, it puts on a little show in the cup. The bloom starts as a tight little ball, and it fizzes and hisses as you pour in the boiling water. Over the next couple of minutes, the flower blooms in your cup. It’s aroma is deep and exotic. The red bloom smells like roses, and its flavor is delicate and subtle. I hate when tea tastes bitter (there’s nothing worse than bitter tea face). This tea is mild and delicious.

The Giveaway

You’ve got all day to enter for a chance to win one (1) box of red bloom tea blossoms, one (1) box of jasmine bloom tea blossoms and Adagio’s Jumbo Glass Teacup and saucer so you can achieve maximum bloomage. Each box contains 10 tea blossoms. One winner will be announced on Friday.

I always like tea like this. My favorite dim sum place in London does this with Jasmine tea: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaszeta/331963355

Ironic you should be talking about tea of all things. I am currently hooked on Tea Forte (http://www.teaforte.com/) which we carry in the restaurant where I work.

The Belgian Mint has strong hints of chocolate, soft of a like a light After 8, but in a tea form. The Ginger is delightful, as is the Jasmine Green and any of the Mint teas. The flavours are authentic, not cloying and even the fruit teas don’t taste like hot Kool-Aid like most fruity teas do.

Would love to try this tea! Sounds wonderful.
