Blooming Flower Tea 6


(rating: 4 out of 5)

Our Blooming Flower Tea (also known as Artistic Tea, Display Tea, Crafted Tea, Hand-Crafted Tea) is made of the highest grade green tea and natural herb flowers. The Blooming Flower Tea will unfurl when added to water, revealing delicate flowers hidden within. The practice of hand-sewing leaves into blooming teas is an age-old Chinese art form that dates back centuries.

Brewing Guide:
We recommend using clear glass cup or wine glass for this tea. Rinse the tea cup with hot water. Use only one piece for each cup. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 70°c (158°F) to 80°c (176°F) for 1 to 2 minutes for the first and second brewing. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing.

 

Tea was good,but not very strong. Brewed first cup for 4 minutes and it was pretty light. Tasted good though-used 500ml water this time. Second cup, used 250ml water and brewed 4 minutes,was much darker probably due to less water. 3rd time...well now I filled a glass with tap water and am using the bloomed tea as a decoration. Overall a nice change for tea and entertaining to watch. Also,did not need sugar as tea was quite light tasting! Received 13 blooms in the 100 gram order.
