Maitokukkatee

Steeping one of these in my clear mug is half the fun — the chrysanthemum and amaranth actually unfurl into a little bouquet. The green tea underneath is so smooth and creamy I've stopped adding anything to it. Twenty flowers in the tin lasted me a good while, too.

I wasn't expecting the green tea itself to be this creamy, but it's silky smooth with zero bitterness. Watched a chrysanthemum and amaranth bloom open in my glass pot on the second steep, which was honestly half the fun.

I wasn't expecting the green tea base to taste this creamy, but it really does, and the chrysanthemum petals unfurl into a full bouquet as it steeps. About 20 flowers per pack feels generous since each one is good for a couple of cups.
