My seeds have grown very well, but honestly the plants growing look more like parsley then what is pictured. I have not tried a tea from it yet since I don't exactly know what I'm growing.

The leaves were dried to perfection :) You may make tea with it directly, or boil/steam it, or directly mix it using blender together with other ingredients as you please. Please do email cristina@eatgreentea for further inquiries and concerns.Best regards, Cristina EatGreenTea

There is a Bigelow Tea Plantation near Charleston. I would ask them for advice. The plant I purchased on Amazon is doing ok and growing (in Ohio) but is too pricey for the size.

I didn't have much luck with growing things this last year. I am not sure if it was the new soil I used or the weather as it didn't matter if it was in my raised beds or not. I have been adding compost this fall and winter so I am hoping I get a better return this next year. I have noticed that the top part of the raised bed has pulled apart. I am hoping I can push it back together. I am not sure why this happened.

I never heard of it. I have been drinking this tea for years, and I feel as healthy as ever. Actually, I have just finished a mug of Tea Time earlier this morning! I bought enough to last me all winter. I wouldn't worry about it. You shouldn't, either.

My last box was the same. I think Amazon must have made a mistake. Hope they can get you the right thing. There is really no other tea quite like it.

I have planted them, about 7-8 weeks ago. And disappointedly to this day only 9 have grown!!!! I love those plants, when I lived in Md., I had a huge pot of them, but since my mother passed away, my brothers have thrown everything we owned away, cause my father could not afford house in Md anymore! If you want I will send you a picture of what grew. My mother loved these, thatswhy I ordered them, there is not one nursery in Myrtle Beach, SC that sell them!

I just heard back from the store - they told me (in an email) that the manufacturer was closed for the chinese new year! that is why we hadnt heard back from them (the store) since they hadnt heard back from the manufacturer. The manufacturer is shipping a new stockpot out. They told me to hang on to the original until the new one arrives. Who knows how long that will be....I emailed back and asked if it was ok to use the other items...still awaiting a reply to that.

As someone whom bought approx 6 packets from them... yea tgey are for real. Boabab tree are hard to germinate as usually an animal eats the seeds and that is what breaks the seed case down... because of this germination rates are uaually lower. (I deal with plants for a living and almost alwats have one or two in a group that do not germinate).Yes they are real and yes you can grow them!

I'm betting their hardy kiwi are live, actively growing plants, not dormant stock. I ordered mine in the spring, and they were shipped immediately, alive and growing.

Not a single one of the seeds grew for me, I researched how to grow them online. I soaked them in warm water over night before planting then used a covered seed starter and kept it in sunlight indoors for weeks. Dug up a few, not even a root. So assuming you can even get them to grow at all, who knows?

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.

Yes, it is the plant and very small. I couldn't believe how much it had grown. It's been several years since I purchased it, and we have had numerous offshoots from it...Right now we have two large plants from the original one we purchased in pots that are about 18" in diameter.

I just bought my first plant, and it arrived as a little tiny, but healthy plant, just about one month ago. I bought a Lady Margaret at the same time. Both are growing and appear to be healthy but the Lady Margaret is growing amazingly fast while my little Incense plant seems to be a slow grower. Both are healthy and appear to be happy. But one is really out pacing the other. I look forward to seeing both mature. Here is NC we have had a lot less sun than usual so that may be playing a part.

The first bag was really fire but the second one not so much. I've have a good knowledge of how the tea should work. If you do end up getting I hope they work. The good ones really did and the next sorta didn't do too much. I wonder what was up with them.

My black bamboo is the first I've purchased. I potted it right away - 3 shoots developed soon after. After a few months - it looked crowded and some leaves had dried out, so I repotted it again. It has been in the same pot for 6 months now and seems fine. There are more shoots yet again. I water it once a week ( it is hot is SW Florida). This plant will remain potted because I live in a condo. It is full - green and healthy. The new shoots are green. I read that they turn black with maturi†y - time will tell The pot it's in now is 15" x 15". Next time I transpot it - will be to a deeper but not too much larger. It is fast growing.
