Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Primula TMV-2012 Flowering Green-Tea 12-Count Variety Pack with Gift Canister
Customer Review: Expires in 25 days from when I received it!!!! Stale Tea, anyone?
Summary: 1 Stars
Buyer beware!
Imagine my utter surprise and dismay when I opened the package of 12 tea flowers, only to find that the expiration date is 10/25/2010!!! I am just wondering how long this tea has been sitting around in their warehouse, and why they think a customer would want to drink STALE tea is beyond me. Sure, seeing a flower opening up in water is a fun experience, but when you can't enjoy the actual flavor of the fresh tea, why bother? Very BAD sales and SHAME ON YOU Primula teas! I will not be looking at this brand again!
Save your money - for a fresh and flavorful tea try Rishi Teas (double lidded for freshness), The Tao of Tea, Boston Tea, or even Twinings (not as high quality but still good), all these I drink and enjoy.
I will try to post a picture (never have before) to show the box (plain brown paper, rectangular, without graphics)it looks nothing like this picture here, and expiration date.
ETA: Just looked at the white sticker on the brown box and it was manufactured 10/25/2007! 3 YEAR OLD TEA that will expire in days. This is totally unexceptionable! Since Amazon doesn't let us return food items, I'm stuck with this. NOT HAPPY! :(
Description of Primula TMV-2012 Flowering Green-Tea 12-Count Variety Pack with Gift Canister
Primula Flowering Teas are made by aritsans in China. The flowering teas are comprised of hand sewn AA grade Green Tea with all natural flowers. After a tea flower is placed in hot water, it will slowly sink to the bottom and unfurl into full bloom. Some have multiple flowers which are sewn together that unfurl into a colorful spectacle, adding fragrance and flavor to the tea. The green tea is blended with either jasmine, pomegranate, vanilla or acai berry to make for an aromatic scent. The package includes: 3 Pomegranate, 3 Jasmine, 3 Vanilla and 3 Acai Berry. There is a lot of belief that the antioxidants contained in the green teas are very healthy. It is also believed that there are certain healing benefits for brewing flowers. Each tea flower can be brewed 3 times to make over 250 cups.Tea Strainers
