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!

My buddy Brenna came over yesterday and gave me some items directly from her trip to Canada. One of them was the Turkey Hill Maple Coffee that I tried today. It’s 100% maple syrup in 100% Columbian coffee. You can’t smell the maple, you can see it in the grounds. Even when it’s brewed, you cannot smell the maple. It smells more like burnt coffee. The first taste you get is FULL BODIED Columbian coffee… the after taste of maple only shows up in the back of your throat after you have sipped a few times. I am undecided as to what to think on this, but the Columbian coffee of it is rather bitter. Overall, not my cup of tea…but it was fun to try something so different.
I got my cocoas in the mail yesterday. One is a replenishment for the flavor I already own and love. The other was a brand new flavor *to me*. It’s white chocolate cocoa. You can watch the milk go creamy white as you mix the powder in. The taste is light, almost fluffy. It is a nice mild alternative to the robust chocolate you normally get in cocoa. If you would like to buy some of this cocoa, make sure to click the BocaJava link in my sidebar. Let them know I sent you (kingzjewel [at] yahoo [dot] com)
