FLOWERING TEA BALLS (CHINA)
Green tea
Flowering (also known as Blooming) teas are meticulously crafted little tea balls that 'bloom' into a splendid flower display when hot water is added. Created to immitate the natural blossoming process of plants, we see flowers unfolding and expanding in a time-lapse fashion.
It is fascinating to watch how, within a few minutes, the tea transforms from a rather inconspicuous bundle of shaped tea leaves into a magnificent bouquet of flowers. These artisan blossoming teas satisfy all senses with their visual aesthetics and delicious favour.
Ingredients: Organic full leaf Sencha green tea.
Origin: On the pacific coastline provinces of China,is Zhejiang Provance. Individual tea leaves and dried flowers are carefully selected and hand-stitched to make each 'bloom'.
OUR BREWING SUGGESTIONS
Since these teas are intended to be watched and admired, it is best to brew them in a (tempered) glass vessel.
