Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Full Bloom Tea

Posted by & filed under Canadian Freebies, Free Stuff, Praises and Complaints.

That’s right boys and girls, Mother’s Day is right around the cor­ner. Sun­day May 13th to be exact. But instead of for­get­ting all about it and rush­ing to the mall on the way to your Mom’s this year, we here at Smart­Canucks are giv­ing you a bit of a heads up — and a great gift sug­ges­tion too!

Full Bloom Tea is a really orig­i­nal prod­uct that would make a per­fect gift for that first spe­cial lady in your life. Every­body loves tea right? How about flow­ers? Well Full Bloom Tea is both gifts all rolled into one. When you add boiled water, the tea grows before your very eyes into a snappy lit­tle bou­quet. It’s not only for Mother’s Day, either. Full Bloom Tea has hon­estly replaced flow­ers as my “I need to send flow­ers” gift. It’s just too neat of a prod­uct not to gift. Who wouldn’t love a tea that turns into a plant?

Full Bloom has a num­ber of Mother’s Day spe­cials on right now, all of which include the glass teapot so you can watch the bloom as it grows. They start at $29.99 USD, but don’t let the cur­rency fool you — they ship world­wide. If you’re just inter­ested for your­self, they offer free sam­ples. They charge $2 for ship­ping on the free sam­ples, but they also pro­vide you with coupons for your next order that more than make up for it.

    Awe­some Boo! Just as a note since this is white tea.. you would not actu­ally want to use *boil­ing* water on it… let it stop boil­ing first (same goes for greens).. some­times the instruc­tions can be wrong and you end up wreck­ing your tea! I had a friend who was con­vinced she hated green tea.. always grassy or bit­ter… now that she is mak­ing it right she loves it! (whites you can steep for a while, greens gen­er­ally no more than 2 minutes).

    This is a great prod­uct, very cute. I had a cou­ple prob­lems with the com­pany though, first they don’t include any coupons like they adver­tise they do. Also, I was charged $4 for ship­ping, and my sam­ple too quite a while to show up. They just send it reg­u­lar mail, and the ship­ping price ( 90 cents) was printed right on the enve­lope. For $4 I’d expect faster ship­ping :(

    I can’t access their web­site any more and all emails to their cus­tomer care keep bounc­ing back. I’m a lit­tle con­cerned that I used my credit card with them to pay the postage on the free sam­ple, begin­ning to look like a scam.…

  5. Mystic Meadows

    I also have not received my sam­ples and at the time of this post­ing I ordered over a month ago. I can access the web­site but my calls and emails have gone unan­swered. Yup, begin­ning to look like a scam…

    ashtongreen.com sells a prod­uct sim­i­lar to this one.. and there out of canada

  7. Kenny

    Actu­ally, this com­pany sells a series of bloom­ing tea asso­ciates with 12 Zodiac signs. All tea are hand picked and taste won­der­ful. Best for X’mas gifts!
    refer http://www.mcot.ca

    A Mon­treal founded com­pany and will answer your query within 48hrs!

  8. Edwin

    Yup. I actu­ally ordered a teaset for them and it never arrived. They refuse to answer my emails so I think they are just out to rip peo­ple off. This doesn’t look like an iso­lated inci­dent so DON’T BUY ANYTHING FROM FULLBLOOMTEA.COM!

  9. Catie

    I ordered from ashtongreen.com and received the order within a few DAYS! The teas are lovely and came with good instruc­tions. I’ll order from them again for sure.

    Def­i­nitely not an iso­lated inci­dent! I ordered from them sev­eral months ago and never received my items. They will not respond to phone queries or emails. I am so frus­trated and dis­ap­pointed. I am fil­ing a “fraud­u­lent charge” report with my credit card company!

  11. LILY THIRSK

    I ALSO SENT FOR 3 TEASETS FOR GIFTS FROM FULLBLOOMTEA AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM.I ALSO WILL FILE FOR FRAUDULENT CHARGES WITH MY CREDIT CARD PEOPLE.LILY THIRSK

    I ordered from them almost 2 months ago, and I STILL have not received my order. My cc was charged right away, of course, and after the first e-mail I sent to them because I ordered a tea card to be sent to some­one else and was not given a space to enter their address (when the guy claimed they e-mailed me already and that I must have done some­thing wrong like deleted it), i have not heard from them. I have emailed them like 6 times now, and I called their offices twice. No answer, noth­ing. Very bad busi­ness, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME.

  13. Princessroz

    I placed an Order with fullbloomtea.com and they never sent the order or responded to emails. There phone num­ber is now dis­con­nected. Buy­ers beware, they stole my money! Poor business!

  14. Timothy

    I am the owner of Canada’s RedUm­brella Tea and we sell Prim­ula Tea, full bloom­ing tea. You are wel­come to stop by at any time. I don’t know of any other com­pa­nies that carry it in Canada other than a few box retailers.
