A while ago, I read Karen Cheng’s post about her encounter with strange looking ‘compressed balls of tea’ (Read about it here). I was intrigued. I love tea, though I still haven’t decided if I’m a tea or coffee person. I love my coffee too.

Anyways, those sheep poo-looking balls of tea turned out to be a kind of blossoming tea which well, blossoms in hot water! Take a look at its effect here.

I was at Chaddie the other weekend and decided to pop into T2 to see if they have these kinda blossoming tea. Not surprisingly, since they are a TEA SHOP, they do have them but only in small packets of 2 balls for $4 per packet. It was quite expensive but I decided to have a go anyways, in fact I bought a few more packets as *ah-cheap-em* Chrissie presents for friends. Here are some pictures of my own encounter with sheep-poo like tea…
