What is Blooming Tea?

Another name for Blooming teas are Flowering Teas. This is because green or black tea leaves are combined with certain dried flowers to produce a floral bulb that will unfurl as boiling water is poured over it. This, in essence, creates a blooming flower which releases healthy antioxidants, flavonoids, and catechins while delivering a beautiful aesthetically pleasing visual show. The dried flowers are all chosen for their individual health benefits and wrapped in bundles of dried tea leaves into a bulb or heart shape and then positioned to dry. After being formed and stitched by hand, they are sealed and preserved into individual foil packets guaranteed to deliver freshness and flavor.

These Flowering teas originated in China's Yunnan province but are now known worldwide for their beauty, flavor and health benefits.
