I was just asked to review the Full Bloom Tea website and product. At this point, I can only give you my impression of their product from the standpoint of a potential client.
Their product is unique. I have never seen tea like this before. Each small packed tea wafer, when steeped, gives you a full blooming effect like that of a flower. There are at least thirteen different varieties of tea bloom, each with its own special theme. Each bloom has the capacity to be steeped for a total of 3 full pots of tea.
It is hard to showcase most products as one of a kind items, but Full Bloom Tea has done it beautifully. If all you saw was a picture of one of the blooms, you would almost need to know more about how the product came to be. I had been reading the entire width and breadth of the site to learn all there is to know before I got the opportunity to actually speak about them. I was enthralled by the sheer beauty that this tea emotes. I learned that each packet is hand crafted and individually wrapped. They take their time to produce excellent quality in every single tea bloom. Hand crafted quality is not as prevalent as it once was. I was happy to see that there is a company that makes each experience exceptional from start to finish.
I have just ordered my free Let Love Bloom sample so that I can get the experience first hand. You do have to pay $2 for the shipping and handling of your sample. If you decide to order anything else through the site, you will end up paying at least $5 flat rate for shipping of your items. That isn’t bad, seeing as how they could charge you that rate per bloom. You are given a number of shipping options, in case you want your blooms to be sent more quickly or by a different method. They also offer shipping around the world.
The company is already geared up for Mother’s Day as well, offering Mother’s Day gift sets starting at only $29. The smallest package will give you six tea blooms, a potential of 18 full pots of tea. Individual blooms start at $3 each, with volume discounts as you add blooms. Each bloom of tea is made from a base of Silver Needle White Tea, a very delicate variety.
I can’t wait to receive my sample in the mail. I wish they took PayPal. I would also suggest that they make their holiday specials more accessible as you are looking through the site. You have to go to the front page to find the specials again, instead of them being under “Tea Gifts” where I would expect them to be.
Overall, product not yet tasted, I give the company 4 1/2 cups. I might revise this once I get my sample so stay tuned!

I received my Kona the day before yesterday from my lovely friend Marisa. Within the package I also received this pretty aqua colored visor from Kauai, modeled by my son. He fell in love with the visor as soon as I pulled it from the package and I have scarce been able to pull it away from him.
As for the Kona…the coffee is whole bean. If you read my other blogs you will recall that I not too long ago purchased a blender that does a great job of grinding coffee beans. Well I only ground up enough for one cup. The smell was exquisite, bold but not overpowering. Even after brewing the smell stayed pretty much the same. When I tasted it black, there was no bitterness. You would almost swear you didn’t use enough coffee to make the cup. Upon first sip with milk, the taste is so mild that you forget you are drinking coffee…
