 Blossoming Tea
Also called Blooming Tea or Flowering Tea, these beautiful display teas are a delightful treat for both your eyes and taste buds. Blossoming Teas are mini floral bouquets that bloom right in front of you.
They are created by skilled artists in China who carefully hand tie jasmine green tea leaves around a flower blossom. The results are small tea balls with a unique sweet scent and flavor. We highly recommend that you steep these in a glass pot in order to fully enjoy this unique tea. These special teas can be continually refreshed with more water as needed and will not get bitter with extended steeping. We promise you will not be disappointed!
Brewing Instructions for Blossoming Tea
To fully enjoy these unique teas, we recommend the use of a clear glass teapot or teacup. Remove the strainer if there is one.
For best results, use high quality water such as freshly drawn filtered water, spring water or bottled water. Try to avoid hard water and distilled water.
The water temperature should be hot, but not boiling (approximately 200 degrees F).
Place one Blossoming Tea Bud into the teapot. Pour water over the bud. Sit back and watch the tea bud swirl around the pot until it finds a place to settle. Then it will slowly open to reveal the flower inside. Make sure not to miss a moment of this event.
These teas will not become bitter if steeped for too long and they can be steeped for up to three additional times or continue to add water to the teapot until it stops releasing flavor.

The scientific evidence continues to mount about the numerous health benefits of drinking tea. Hundreds of recent scientific research studies have found many potential health attributes associated with tea.
Over the past 15 years, research has found that drinking black, green or oolong tea may offer some protection from cardiovascular disease and cancer, lead to reduced risk of kidney stones, and strengthen bones, teeth and the immune system.
“There is unequivocal evidence that tea as a lifestyle factor can impact health,” said Dr. Carol Greenwood, Professor of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto. “Drinking tea should be considered part of a healthy lifestyle.”
Tea was identified as one of the most healthy beverage choices in recently published guidelines for healthy beverage consumption. Developed by a panel of American nutrition experts and published in the March 2006 issue of the Journal of American Clinical Nutrition, the guidelines determined that tea is second only to water as the healthiest beverage choice. The guidelines, created to help consumers make smart beverage consumption decisions, was based on a detailed analysis of the health and nutritional benefits and the risks of various types of beverages.
