The taste was terrible, granted, I only tried the jasmine, maybe the green tea is better. They looked more like seaweed. I got these as a gift for my mom, who is an avid tea drinker. The blooms opened and were not nearly as pretty as I thought they'd be.

You can make five pots of tea without degradation of flavor or any increase in bitterness.Highly recommended. It has a light delicate flavor that doesn't get bitter at all. I fell in love with flowering green teas from our local tea shoppe, but I was very dismayed with the price ($4/ball.). I was elated to find this listing since it amounts to about $1.50 per tea ball and it tastes great, better than what we get at the fancy store.
