A cup of tea, until now, has been something functional ... something useful on days you feel a cold coming on or have just had your heart broken. But who knew tea could be beautiful to look at? Display teas from Adagio unfurl in hot water, creating a "bloom" of tea leaves in the bottom of your cup.

The teas are best served in a clear glass cup so you can easily see the blooming action. Boxes of ten display teas are available for $10 from Adagio in either jasmine-infused green tea, or black tea. This seems like a good thing to have on hand for last-minute gifts (and extreme cases of man trouble).
