The catch of blue? I need to buy more. Have to admit they are ugly looking blobs when they get tossed in the sink. Yours looks more like a flowering tea though. Mine doesn't.

Yes ! Tea leaves wrapped around a flower. They're gorgeous to watch open. Green tea, jasmine tea.

Yup - mine says on the packet ...Pink Chrysanthemum Flower Balls. "Chusul Furong". Handwoven white tea, opens like a flower while infusing to display beautiful pink chrysanthemum floating on a string, Imported tea leaves.(boy I have issues typing Chrysanthemum). has a slight perfumed taste (only slight - not like Earl Grey which I dislike) and is a very delicate tast. Can be re brewed several times.

Vally - ok I found this web site
www.tealyra.com.au/blooming-tea-au/?gclid=COKo8c7puM4CFYWXvAodlZYAVg
with 11 types of blooming teas $7.86 for each sort each pack has three 'pieces' or there is a box of 12 for $26.43 !!! Are we interested in taking this further or are we done?
It looks to me that the box of 12 is 3 x Jasmine Lily; Passionfruit Flower; Strawberry sweetheart?!
Only thing is you have to add postage and I think its a yank site (unless you order AU$85+)
This is a chinese site www.teavivre.com/tea-picture/flower-tea-a-786/$14.90 for 12 pieces free post for orders over $30 (US? AU?)
what do you think

Definitely for the pretty pictures, and the really pretty tea.
Do you think there would be problems with customs? I've bought them before from robynleetea.com.au as a gift for someone.
They are 5 same tea for $15, 10 for $25 or 5 mixed for $18. Postage for the 5 mixed to Sydney is $7.
Your tealyra is a bargain for the 12 teas. Iv put it in the cart and it says shipping by Australia post at $7.96. So I'm ordering a box.
I definitely want to keep working on these as they've obsessed me since I first bought them, but don't feel obliged. I bought 2 more this week from a Harris Farm where they sell them individually at $5 each.
