About this deal

The absolute perfect tea for weddings, gatherings, birthdays or just relaxing alone to unwind. Our blooming teas are high quality, free of pesticides, and based on premium silver needle tea. Lavender: This flower is known for its relaxing attributes and nicely compliments blooming tea that’s enjoyed for relaxation and stress-relieving purposes. While lavender makes for a beautiful bloom, the flowers are a bit taller than others used in blooming teas, so you’re more likely to find these in bundles created for teapots. It’s one of the healthiest teas available combining the antioxidant rich green tea with a combination of health benefits that are derived from individual flowers. Made of the highest grade of special green tea of fresh spring crops, Jasmine Flowers, Rosebud and Marigold.

It’s easy to categorize most types of teas into specific flavor profiles, even with subtle differences among tea growing regions, growing conditions, and the craftwork of tea masters. Flowering tea is something different altogether, offering a beautiful range of flavors, aromas, and presentations.Flowering tea or blooming tea ( Chinese: 香片, 工艺茶, or 开花茶) consists of a bundle of dried tea leaves wrapped around one or more dried flowers. [1] These are made by binding tea leaves and flowers together into a bulb, then setting them to dry. [1] When steeped, the bundle expands and unfurls in a process that emulates a blooming flower, [2] and the flowers inside emerge as the centerpiece. [3] Typically they are sourced from the Yunnan province of China. [4] Flowers commonly used in flowering teas include globe amaranth, chrysanthemum, jasmine, lily, hibiscus, and osmanthus. [2] Once steeped in flirted water at 80c for 3 minutes, the flowering tea bulbs are suitable for one re-steeping. This is all because the types of tea and florals used in blooming tea bundles are entirely up to the tea master creating each hand-tied bundle. Any kind of tea can be used and combined with any type of edible floral. The flavor and appearance of blooming tea rely entirely on these factors, which offer practically endless combinations. Flowering tea: how’s it made?: Our tea flowers are made by seeing young green tea leaves and buds hand sewed together with different herbal flowers such as: marigold, lily, chrysanthemum, globe amaranth, jasmine and calendula. Tea bundles may contain a single flower or multiple flowers, depending on the desired aesthetic of the bloom. There are some blooming teas that don’t contain any floral component at all but are simply tea leaves that have been artistically pressed and sewn together to create a beautiful tea bloom when added to hot water.

One thing we’re sure of is that the roots of blooming tea are firmly set in China. Some tea historians believe there is evidence to support the theory that the art of blooming tea first began in the 10 th century in the royal courts of China. Other theories point to blooming tea being a more recent invention, with its birth being in modern times. In ancient times, people used tea as a herbal medicine long before drinking it for pleasure. They added flowers to boost the medicinal value and sensory delights of the tea. Some blossoms commonly used in flowering tea are jasmine, calendula, globe amaranth, marigold, and lily.

Essential glassware

To make a blooming tea bundle, tea leaves or buds are carefully chosen for how they’ll bloom within the bundle. The tea is then carefully sewn by hand into the desired shape of the bundle, with a floral inside. White teas, with their long, soft tea leaves and buds, are often the most desired for their presentation upon bloom. Sometimes, a flavoring component is added to tea at this time.

The types of blooming flowers used include marigold, lily, jasmine, peony and more. Flowering tea balls are safe to drink and are made using natural ingredients. As you pour hot filtered water, the magic does not happen immediately. Staying true to its playful nature, the little bulb carefully unwraps itself - not revealing too much at first. It builds the suspense until, in one sudden and exciting move, it lets go of the flower inside which travels upwards in your teapot like a soaring bird. The tea ball is made by hand, with skilled artisans carefully selecting and arranging the tea and flowers in a way that will create a stunning display when steeped. As the tea ball steeps, it slowly reveals the vibrant colours and intricate details of the flowers within. The result is a visual spectacle that is as delightful to watch as it is to taste. What flowers and flavours are found in blooming tea? Made of the highest grade of special green tea of fresh spring crops, Jasmine Flowers and Chrysanthemum. The second theory is that blooming tea was an artistic creation that came to life during the 1990s. This was about the time in history that tea sales were down in China, and tea masters and tea purveyors were looking for ways to increase sales with a new, exciting tea product. Considering that tea on its own is a pretty simple concept, coming up with a creative new tea product proved to be a challenge.

White and green teas are also more delicate in flavor and scent, so they enhance the contributions of the florals rather than overpowering them. The floral component lends very, very subtle flavor and scent, and sometimes it’s barely detectable. Using a tea with a strong flavor profile would completely take away from those delicate notes.
