I received the most intensely wonderful gift today--a flowering tea pot, an infuser, and various flowering teas. I've seen flowering tea pots before, but I stayed away from them as they always seemed so exotic and complex. I was sure that if I tried to make this beautiful tea that it would all go horribly sideways. Turns out that I was wrong. I followed the directions and voila. The whole experience was delightful. I poured in the hot water and watched the flower open. After a few minutes, I opened the lid. The smell was heavenly. A few cups later and there is balance in the universe. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am so happy that you selected this gift for me. Without your insight and generosity, I would have continued to stumble through life not having experienced the wonder of the flowering tea. You rock!
