If you're thinking of purchasing this for yourself or as a gift, you may want to go to the Adagio Tea website and pick out flavors that are better suited to the tastes of whoever is drinking the tea. I wish that there was more of a "simple" and "unroasted" green tea that came with the set. There's just something about the tea leaves dancing and then the water emptying out when you put it over your cup. I had never seen anything like it. Everyone is intrigued in this device whenever I use it. I received Citron Green, Gunpowder, Hojicha, and Genmai Cha.
I only liked the Citron Green, even though I normally hate citrus anything in my tea. I like that you have plenty of space for the tea leaves to expand. Even though it's made of plastic, it seems like a sturdy plastic and hasn't broken even when I'm rough with it. I'm at the point now where I can't imagine making tea without it. I haven't yet experienced the mesh strainer popping out or "stuff" getting into my tea. When I saw Kevin Rose use this thing on Diggnation, I knew I had to get it.
It's easy to clean, even if you don't pop it in the dishwasher. It's just so convenient and interesting to watch.Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of three of the teas I received with this set.
The tea with the set is a little too weak for me. Very good choice for loose tea. I tend to like the bolder flavors.
She prefers tea in the afternoon as a pick-me-up instead of coffee. Has had no difficulty with the teapot and reported that the teas were really good tasting. Bought this set for my mom for her birthday. She was able to get the hang of brewing loose tea after an initial time or two.
I don't really have much to say other than I just bought another one for me to keep at the office. Easy to use, easy to clean, and the sample teas are of good quality.
She loves it and uses it at work. She said the teas are delicious and strongly suggested I get one for myself, which I will definitely be doing.
