Creative Tea from Shanghi

I like to call my self an occasional blogger. it is only when i see an interesting thing that i think of blogging it. Strange but that's me :)

A good friend of mine has recently came from Shanghai China and wanted us to share his experience by bringing us chines tea that is different from the ones you see in an ordinary shop. Mostly it was Jasmine tea with a blend of some fruity flavors like apricot.

First of all, it was wrapped in elegant colorful boxes and in side it separately sealed tea leaves or small bouquet.

Each box was nicely imprinted with sticky stamp explaining the tea flower name and picture.

Each one of us started to choose a box based on the picture and his or her expectation of the flavor. the tea bouquet were different in shapes ranging from round, to mushroom or pine nuts shapes.

We poured hot water and started to gaze at the glasses in mischief looks like it was a new toy and we were small children.

We enjoyed the different aromas from each type and watched the tea bouquet expand into beautiful tea flowers that kept on growing like a real flower.

our friend who bought them said that the tea shop owner insisted that this type of tea is for women. I guess because it is so artistic and delicately presented, women would appreciate it!!! i tend to agree!! i think when you see the pictures you will also agree!!

I enjoyed the tea and the company and that's that!
