This one is called Good Fortune
Good Fortune is made with green tea and contains tagetes flower - it's said to help boost the immune system.
Tagetes are part of the daisy family - you can see a resemblance to Marigolds.
The brew itself has a golden hue that matches the flowers. There's an initial sweet aroma but has quite a dry, savoury finish.

What lovely pictures of this flower in your teapot! This sounds really interesting, I wonder if I can find it here (Paris)...
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilda - I think either a specialist tea store or perhaps a chinese grocer might be your best options. If not then there are reputable tea merchants on the internet where you'll be able to find them.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely! I've never seen a tea flower blooming in a teapot before. Thanks for sharing. (I just came up your site from Technicolor Kitchen.)
ReplyDeletebeautiful tea - I need to get a clear tea pot. I have one flowering tea but don't want to use it until I get the pot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn and Welcome - patricia has a great site!
ReplyDeleteOh Jaden I hope you find your teapot soon!
I love these teas you do! The photos are sublime. I must find out where in New York I can find flowering teas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda - if all else fails there is always amazon
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. Beautiful whole site! I was writing a post for Little House in the Suburbs about homemade marigold tea and used one of your pics. It's sited, but please tell me if it's not okay with you and I'll remove it.
