I went in to get a pork pastry this afternoon and noticed that there is a sign telling customers that the shop will close at the end of the month for renovations. To reopen sometime in 2010. Very sad as I lost my beloved Bloom Tea...

Even urbanites can get in on relief efforts.

i love this stuff. i used to get kombucha fresh at a couple hippy coffeeshops places that used to make it around osu in columbus, ohio. it tastes like cider and makes a great iced tea alternative. be careful tho, the bloom...

-packed, bud-like tea package "blooms" into a flower-like structure over the course of several minutes of steeping in a glass teapot — and the resulting tea is quite subtle in flavor (I think it has some flower parts in it,...

, but from what I’ve read, I can put them into teas and the cakes as well once it blooms. Image: http://aoeu.standardout.com/pics/pdb_Weezingreens_2002-10-25_1035565008896.jpg

on how good it looked. It was great to have the variety of the imperial rolls too. Still wanting to relax for a bit, I ended by lingering with the Art Tea, a blooming jasmine tea with lychee flower. It was presented in a wine...

Thanks for the recommendation for Gong Fu Tea. It looks like a great shop and it is nice to hear that tea is blooming in places like Des Moines (especially since my favorite tea shops in places like New York seem to be shutting...

that has an amazing view. Rest. may be a little pricey, but hey, the free admission to the museum helps! 2) Huntington Gardens: hmmm...not sure what (if anything) is in bloom right now, but it’s a good way to do some walking...

I am getting married in September, and I’m looking for a restaurant in Dallas for my bridesmaids luncheon. I would love to do it at a tea room or something similar. I’m trying to keep everything in the Dallas area to...

French press is great at making loose leaf tea: it allows for a large environment for the tea to bloom. One of my favorite things to do with french press (though it may be bad for the press) is to make milk foam, as in the ones...

i thought fresh kombucha bloom was semi-illegal, at least to sell? back in ohio certain hippie coffee shops made it fresh and served it as iced tea sort of under the table, so i would drink it all the time. sure it is supposed to...

of dessert — chocolate, preferably — that’s simple, as well as the option to serve coffee. We have no coffee pot. Suggestions? I have Bodum tea press and several tea balls. Should I just make tea? Would that be...

Hi Ben! Yep, as Renee mentioned, I’ve been twice. I have to say, not my cup of tea. Not the best Fox Restaruant Concepts has to offer. I much prefer Bloom, Wildflower. Not North so much. I thought it was over priced. I will...
