KKOKDAMOrange & Marigold - Fruit & Flower Tea - Fancy Korean Set, Loose Leaf Gift Set, Korean Tea Sets, Unique Gifts - 10 Count

While the tea is beautifully presented, I found it quite expensive for what it offers. Despite the aromatic fruit pieces, the flavor was surprisingly underwhelming. I was hoping for a more robust taste, but it didn't live up to my expectations.

I was hoping this would be an interesting drink, but unfortunately it's not. After preparing as directed it pretty much ends up tasting of nothing and has no real aroma. Not surprising since for each bag (only10 bags for $34) I only got a thin HALF SLICE (the ad shows a full slice) of orange, one marigold bud and a thin sprig of, well, something, they don't say what, maybe a marigold stem? When you're done brewing you may be able to JUST BARELY tell the difference between this and plain water.The only reason I gave this two stars other than just one is that it is a very pretty presentation. The half slice of orange and the Marigold bud (which blooms out some in the hot water) does look pretty cool when put in a clear glass teacup or teapot. That's as far as it goes though, no taste or aroma unless you mix it with some other kind of herbal tea, sweetener or juice. I have both marigold and orange teas from other companies and both have much more flavor than this!So basically, if you want to have a really pretty pot of tea for your guests and don't mind spending the money, brew up some real marigold or orange tea in a clear glass pot and at the last minute throw in one of these packets. The half slice of orange and blooming marigold bud will look very decorative and won't change the flavor a bit.Also, each packet contains a small pack of silica jell. They don't really mention it but you DO NOT want to steep this packet, throw it away, it's just there to keep things fresh till you open the envelope.I can't really recommend this "tea" unless you just want to use it as a decoration.

This is such an interesting type of tea. Each bag comes with just three pieces - some leaves, a flower, and one or two grapefruit slices. You only need to steep for two minutes. The tea is a beautiful shade of pink. The flavor wasn't really for me, but I am so glad I tried this. I didn't realize that cockscomb flower could be used in tea! It's interesting to see the dried flower seem to come back to life as the water rehydrates it. I really can't get over the beautiful pink shade. Note that these pieces come in a plastic bag with a desiccant pack. You put the contents (less the desiccant pack) in, so unlike a conventional tea bag, you can't just pull it out after two minutes, but it stays solid enough you can pull it out with a fork if you don't have a teapot with a filter in the spout. Definitely worth trying out! I wasn't a fan of the flavor I chose, but don't let that deter you! I would definitely try another flavor from this company in the future.

I found these tea sets lackluster as they are just pieces of fruit and flowers. The tea brewed with them was not spectacular for over $20. It just tasted like hot water with some fruit and flower aroma.

The pictures for this product show a whole slice of orange, sprig of rosemary and a whole marigold. I received 10 packets, each containing half a dried orange (see my picture, lip balm included so you have a good idea of the size). Some of them had whole marigolds, others just had a couple of petals. The rosemary was either a whole sprig, or a bare stem. The tea was inconsistently portioned and not worth the price. I might have given it a better review if the tea tasted okay-- but, it did not taste like anything. When steeped, it had very little taste, no matter how long I let it sit. I even doubled up the teas, and it barely made a difference.

This is different from tea I've had in the past. It's loose leaf, but portioned into individual plastic sachets which you cut open and pour into a tea strainer. It had two dried grapefruit slices along with herbs and was very attractive to look at both in the packet and in my strainer. Each one comes with a tiny silica gel packet, which is easy to miss but must be removed prior to steeping.The flavor is interesting. It's citrusy with a hint of mint. It makes a pink-colored tea. I think it might make for a better iced tea than a hot one, but the box has instructions for both, so make it as you wish.It is fairly expensive for 10 servings at over $30, but it is imported from South Korea. It would make a nice gift if you can tolerate the price.

Like several other reviewers stated this flavor is relatively mild.The presentation is beautiful, and the subtle flavor is nice/refreshing, but it doesn't really taste like a traditional tea (even floral ones), and it does cost a lot per serving at its current price point (roughly $35 for a 10 pack). I'm a big tea enthusiast and don't mind spending extra money on premium tea, but this felt a little on the expensive side.Overall I'd give this three stars. If you want something that is unique and beautiful for presentation and you don't care about the price then it's well worth it. If not, I'd explore other options even if they may not be as visually appealing. Personally, I could only see myself buying this if I was hosting an event and wanted a picture worthy drink.

To me, the lemon features prominently in the flavor of this tea with the chrysanthemum & thyme filling in minor notes. Brewed hot, the flavor didn’t really work for me. I found the directions on the box to be confusing. The current price of about $35 for the 10 count box strikes me as high.
