Aloha Love,Its best to be gentle with tea. The water needs to be at a lower temperature. Sometimes the high boiling heat causes the flower to "seize" upon itself, thus prevents from blooming. Once it blooms, the flavor will develop....However I came across a couple of these flower teas that were very, very mild in taste.....I hope this helps....

I don't know. Mine worked exactly as advertised when I followed the directions.

I steep it for about five or eight minutes or more it has great flavor. I love it

I never use boiling water on fragile tea flowers. If you boil it, let it sit for a couple minutes or place one ice cube in it before slowly pouring it on.

I would suggest calling customer service on this issue. I have been using the flowering tea and I have not had an issue with uncurling flowers and the tea is not extremely dark but very delicious. My favorite is the Vanilla. I could only assume that something may be wrong with the flowers you received. If you call they may suggest you return what you have and they can replenish the batch you received.

Make sure tank is full and seated correctly AND run a clear water mug through with no capsule. See if that helps. Contact company if not. Good luck.

It has to have enough water in it so that when it boils, it shoots up the tube to flow over the grounds. Either there wasn't enough, or you boiled it dry. If the grounds didn't get wet, then I'd say you need to make a larger batch.

Put some baking soda (1TSP) in a full kettle and bring to a boil. Then let it sit until it is cooled. That should take the taste out.

Are you using FRESH water? Also, are you cleaning the kettle or pan you heat your water in regularly (every 1-2 weeks) with white vinegar? Neglecting both of these factors can greatly affect the taste of your brew.

run water thru a couple of times when you first get it and make sure you are using distilled water. Wait till completely heated and a good stream of steam is coming out before placing infront of a client. Try using the ozone for a fuller stream of steam. I haven't had any problem with mine Check all conection are tight.

I would add more water. And stirring mid way works. I only had this problem once and i use it at least once a week. Love it

Don't be upset when you see the roots in the "squishy" stuff. It is all good. I filled my pot with little black pebbles I picked up somewhere. I wait until the top pebbles are dry and then water it. That works really well for me. Too much water may cause the leaves to get brown or yellow. It likes indirect sunlight. Sometimes too much light will also cause the stems to discolor. Needs very little attention.

It looks bad if u add water to it it just looks like a bug blob of purple. They are nice without waTer, put a flower on top and it's perfect.

try adding a bit of water, then give it a swirl. that should dilute it enough to get it out, but not so much that it loses potency.

I have had moderate success using vinegar through the machine, so it is hot. Cold vinegar seems to do little. This still does not get it spotless. But it seems to remove anything that affects coffee taste. If you want to disinfect, use a bleach solution in water. A few tablespoons of bleach is plenty to soak the bottle. Rinse heavily & repeatedly to get out any bleach after taste. If you want to go a step further get a scrubbing brush made for cleaning inside baby bottle. Then try whatever cleaning agent you want. I have never tried it but if desperate to get out stain color I would try muriatic acid (available from pool supply companies). Again rinse very heavily afterwards.

I use a pinch to 1/4 of a teaspoon and warm water depending on the size of the vase. The flowers don't like icy cold!

It's a mixture of water and cleaner. The manual suggests using warm water. There's definitely no steam, though.

I had the same problem but doing better with the following procedures: Prior to using I fill a large plastic cup with hot water and immerse the long plastic straw in it and spray the hot water through it. I repeat this a few times. Then when I'm finished spraying the plants IU repeat the procedure and make sure clean water is coming through. so far it's doing ok. Problem is the thickness of the Deer Off.

my bet is you have oxidation... not uncommon with new items that you dont wash first, or if your water is treated with chemicals that would be a factor too...........filter your water, and clean and sanitize the pot and lid with good water, then try again and you should be fine.

I like to use a heaping teaspoon with 12 oz . . . but then add to taste. Make sure the water is near boiling and you get the best result. Enjoy.

The water doesn't have any taste that i can discern. There is a charcoal filter in the spout that should remove any bad taste
