| | Flower Tea (Blumen Tee)When it comes to tea consumption, I would think that Germany comes in second place after China  . I don't think I've even seen so many different types of tea back home in Singapore.!
I was just browsing through the Bio-shop before my German classes today trying to get some tea to soothe my "numbed-out" mouth (Had a visit to the dentist after the tooth filling dropped out on Saturday  ) and I couldn't make up my mind! They had "Comfort" tea, "Relaxing" tea, "Concentration" tea, "Fruit" tea, "Mind-enriching" tea... I ended up with a bag of grapes instead 
Well, this one still tops my list:
During the last trip to China with my German colleagues, we discovered "Blooming Flower Tea"  and that is what exactly the tea does! It blooms in the water right before your eyes. What's pretty amazing is that you could leave it to stand the whole day and it doesn't get too thick, not like the chinese tea that comes in the dim sum restaurants. And you can add water to it over and over again. Haven't seen it around in the shops here, though I did read about it in a German magazine. Well, the next time I go to China, I'll take orders
