In this charming story about celebrating differences a Chinese-American girl wishes for a garden of bright flowers instead of one full of bumpy, ugly, vegetables. The neighbors' gardens look so much prettier and so much more inviting to the young gardener than the garden of "black-purple-green vines, fuzzy wrinkled leaves, prickly stems, and a few little yellow flowers" that she and her mother grow. Nevertheless, mother assures her that "these are better than flowers." Come harvest time, everyone agrees as those ugly Chinese vegetables become the tastiest, most aromatic soup they have ever known.

The best frother I ever had
Color: White
I have been using frothers to make a daily matcha latte since 2016 and, since each of them lasted only between 4 to 12 months, I had purchased many of them.
This one is absolutely the best one! I bought it in July 2025 and I surely hope this will last more than one year. I will update my review if it stops working too soon.
But , for now, it has been great! I totally love the strong, fast engine. It perfectly whips up my matcha latte in just 3-4 seconds! As I use a very tall cup, I never experienced any overflowing of the liquid.
It feels heavy and stronger than my previous one, and I like that.
The reason I took off one star is because it doesn’t come with a metal stand considering that it is not possible to keep it standing up on the kitchen counter because, on the top, it has a robber cover that it is not flat. I am using an old stand from one of the previous frothers but, as this frother is much heavier, it keeps falling down. It would be nice to have a stand that fits this frother!
Other than that, so far, it is the best frother I have ever had!

Really powerful, responsive customer support
Color: Blue
Awesome for mixing protein powder into milk, Gatorade powder into water, making salad dressings, basically the kinds of work that would be overkill for an immersion blender. The unit I got started to vibrate like crazy after a few weeks. Contacted support and they said it was likely that the whisk rod was bent and said they'd refund me the cost of a new rod. We'll see if that solves the problem, but overall, I am impressed by their product and aftersales support.
