I am a lurker in this group & wanted to post a tea that I saw on a local
tv show. Looks interesting. I don't think I would have patience for it.

This type tea is very attractive, but can come with issues:
generally, it's not a good quality tea
it's usually an artificially flavoured (jasmine or peach) green
the cheap ones are covered with a thin plastic glaze to keep the tea
flower together
the hand-tied, better quality ones are expensive
I have had a couple of good ones from ITC and from Dragon Tea House
that were hand-tied, not too expensive and tasty
Just be wary.

These "artistic teas" are a huge craze in China right now and everybody
seems to be promoting them. Most of them look better than they taste.
