The floral taste is so delicate it almost disappears if you steep it too long, so I stick to about three minutes. Watching that dusky pink bloom unfurl among the green leaves is half the reason I keep buying it.

I dropped one of these into a clear teapot for a quiet Sunday morning and just watched it open. The green leaves spread out slowly while that dusky pink flower rose up in the middle, and the taste stayed light and floral without turning bitter.

The bloom unfurled into a dusky pink lotus right in the middle of the green leaves, and the floral taste stayed gentle instead of turning bitter. Steeped it a full four minutes and it still came out smooth.
