If you’re not intimate with the whole culture surrounding tea, then you’re in all likelihood unfamiliar with the term, “blooming art tea”. It’s a gorgeous neat conception and is something that may amaze your party guests of all ages. You’ll never grow tired of serving blooming teas. Most likely, it was the Chinese that came up with the idea of a flowering or a blooming tea because the flowers applied in these teas are ordinarily found in China and shipped around the world. So What is a Blooming Art Tea? A flowering or blooming tea is precisely as it sounds. It is a bundle of dried flowers and tea leaves that exaggerate and “bloom” in the hot water in your personal teapot. When the bundle blooms, it looks like a little bouquet. For this reason, it’s good to have a glass teapot whereby the blooming may be “experienced” in real time right at the table you’re sitting at. The amount of size divergence of the finished bloom may be five or six times that of the dried flowering tea ball. It takes when it comes to 5 minutes to bloom. The flowers applied in flowering blooms include jasmine, chrysanthemum, amaranth, hibiscus, lily and osmanthus. They smell outstanding and lend a little aromatherapy to the tea party. Flowering teas don’t get bitter even even though they may steep for extended periods of time. (Remember, the intermediate green tea only steeps for 5 minutes.) The mild flavor of the flowers neutralizes any bitter taste of the steeped green or black infusions. How are Flowering Blooms Made? There’s a special art to the making of flowering teas. They are hand sewn by women in tea gardens far away from civilization in the southwestern Yunnan province of China. This area is near Laos and Vietnam. The types of tea leaves in general employed in flowering teas are white, green and black. While the leaves are still somewhat wet, it’s easy to flatten them and sew them together into a bundle. Each one is handcrafted and galore may take up to 10 minutes to craft. Some are sewed together in long garlands that may look utterly pretty in the teapot. Making Artisan Teas Part of Your Memories Blooming teas actually is worthy of their own glass teapot. You may buy blooming tea sets that include a blooming tea pot, hand painted little cups and assorted blooms. Blooming teas make magnificent gifts! You may continually add water to the teapot, increasing the steeping time to get more flavor with each cup of tea. The aroma smells best when you drink the basi cup. One way to present a blooming tea at your party is to give everyone their own big glass with a wide base. This will concede the tea ball to completely bloom. Imagine a party where every one has their own flowering tea with a wholly dissimilar flower, aroma and taste. It’s the foundation for one of the most unforgettable tea parties your friends will ever experience; guaranteed! |

Drinking tea is fun!
By Di
These flowering teas are a wonder to behold and fun to watch. The tea ball, right out of the package, looks like a funny colored nut with the scent of tea and jasemin. Place it in the bottom of a tea cup or tea pot (the best show happens in an all glass one), and add hot, but not boiling water, sit back and watch. It’s amazing to see it open up into a beautiful bouquet. The green leaves are the tea (green scented with jasmin) and the flower are one a 12 different selections. As one person said to me, “tea flowers make you sit and relax in a go-go-go world.” I would recomend this to anyone who loves tea.

Assorted Green Tea Flowers but Same Flavor
By L. R. Bowers
We got this for my mom and she really likes it. While the tea flowers vary in presentation, they are all “Green Tea with Fresh Jasmine.” It would have been nice to mix up the flavor of the tea. I would recommend this more for presentation than flavor.

Title is a little misrepresentative
By Laura Smith
Assorted Green Tea Flowers should be called Assorted Jasmine Green Tea Flowers. It’s the blooms that are assorted not the tea flavor. They are all Jasmine. Having said that, it’s a wonderful surprise when you put in the bud and don’t know what kind of flower you’re going to be getting next!
Usually when I buy Jasmine Tea I get the finest- A small 4 ounce bag that runs me $20 and although this tea isn’t as good as what I regularly buy it’s still very nice tasting. The best part is that it’s practically impossible to overbrew. Jasmine Tea in particular can get really bitter easily if it is overbrewed even a bit and I was afraid I would have to take the flower out after a couple of minutes to stop the brewing process. But NO! The makers thought ahead and made it so that you can leave the flower in and it won’t overbrew. The only bad thing about this is that if you like your Jasmine Tea really strong then you won’t like the way this works for you. But strong Jasmine Tea is always bitter so you might want to try a lighter brew like this.
Hint: If you never liked the way Jasmine Tea tasted because of it’s bitterness here’s a trick. Standard instructions for Jasmine include having your water at around 180 degrees and brewing for aprox 2 minutes. Instead of this, try using a lower temperature instead- say 130ish and brew for 7 minutes. What you’ll get is a tea with all the Jasmine and none of the bitterness. With these flowers however you don’t have to worry about brewing time (unless you like your tea VERY weak) and are free to enjoy the flower until your tea is gone.
