Flower Chinese Tea

An interesting mini-drama unfolded when PJ Hilton’s Asst Marketing Communications Manager Ms Elaine Chiew introduced us to their Taiwanese Flower Tea.
What started off as a small green round ball at the bottom of the glass slowly blossomed into a 3 tiered 3 colored flower when hot water was poured on it.

As we sat and watched this beautiful transformation, Elaine informed us that there were several varieties of these Chinese Tea balls and that their price increased with the number of tiers and flowers that unfold.Apparently the ultimate is a grand total of seven tiers and multi colored flowers! Watching this alone is enough reason to get yourself down to Toh Yuen.
