Flowering Teas

Flowering or blooming teas are bundles of tea leaves, sewn together by hand in China. The rosettes contain buds or petals of flowers such as jasmine, lily, globe amaranth, chrysanthemum, osmanthus and hibiscus. As the tea steeps, the rosette will unfurl its leaves to reveal the beautiful flower inside.

how to steep:
Flowering or blooming teas are best prepared in a transparent glass tea pot, or they can be served with individual blooms placed in wide transparent tea cups. After all, what would be the purpose of an unfurling tea bundle that could not be visually enjoyed? In a transparent tea pot, you and your guests can watch as the tea bundle unfurls, and with individual tea cups each guest can have their own separate bloom. In either situation, the unfurled blooms can all be re-infused with hot water to experience the flavor and aroma once more. Tea sets are available for purchase and are specifically designed for enjoying flowering blooming tea. Most come packaged with 6 to 10 bundles, so you can get a taste right away for this liquid feast for the senses. Once you try flowering blooming tea, drinking other more common forms of tea will never seem the same again.
