Flowering tea, also known as blooming tea, is a bundle of dried leaves wrapped around one or more edible dried flowers which are made by binding tea leaves and flowers together into a bulb. Once steeped, the bundle expands and unfurls that emulates a blooming flower to produce a delicately aromatic, flavourful cup of tea.
This tea is the epitome of self-indulgence as the flower emerges as the centrepiece that not only can be enjoyed for its taste but also admired as an art form. It is a true treat for all the senses and appeals to those who love adventure and magic.
Wonderfully aromatic, pleasant on the palate, and stunning to observe, flowering teas recall their natural spring blooming, and, just as in nature, there is a wide range of flowers and colours to enjoy.
As you unwrap the bulb, it is immediately apparent that a lot of meticulous work has gone into its creation. Each individual bulb is carefully hand-rolled. A sense of the utmost respect engulfs you as you hold the little ball of tea in your hand. You can feel the craftsmanship, the art, the culture, and the history in your palm. You instinctively want to treat it with as much love and care as its creators.
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.
Once fully bloomed, the tea is ready to enjoy. But before doing so, it is worth taking an extra moment to take in the complete, eye-pleasing structure. What was initially little more than a ball of leafy green is now a stunningly assembled basket of flower and tea, evidently the work of a highly-skilled tea artisan.
