Collection: Flowering Teas

Flowering tea or blooming tea consists of a bundle of dried tea leaves wrapped around one or more dried flowers. These are made by binding tea leaves and flowers together into a bulb, then setting them to dry.  When steeped, the bundle expands and unfurls in a process that emulates a blooming flower, and the flowers inside emerge as the centerpiece.  Flowers commonly used in flowering teas include amaranth, chrysanthemum, jasmine, lily, hibiscus, and osmanthus.

Flowering tea is generally served in containers made of glass or similar transparent materials so that the flowering effect can be seen. The bundles can usually be reused two or three times without the tea becoming bitter.

Flowering Teas make a great gift for the tea lover in your life!!
