Chamomile: Chamomile is another flower that’s widely recognized in tea culture. Chamomile is one of the gentlest, nurturing florals and is known for its relaxing and stress-relieving attributes. Chamomile is also safe for even the youngest tea drinkers, so this makes for a lovely blooming tea when enjoying a tea party with children. Chamomile also looks lovely in tea blooms, lending a beautiful “wildflower” look to the final bloom. Let the tea steep for approximately 3-5 minutes. Three minutes is the average steeping time for white and green teas, but you really don’t want to go beyond the 5-minute mark, no matter how pretty your bloom is to look at. At the 5 minute mark, you begin taking the risk of your tea becoming more bitter. So, sit with your tea for a few moments and enjoy the beautiful bloom before enjoying it.

The form of the tea bundle affects the appearance of the flowering tea bloom.Blooming tea, also called flowering tea, is a type of tea that actually “blooms” in your cup or teapot. Typically, blooming tea is made by bundling traditional types of dried tea leaves with a dried flower in the center. When you place the bundle in hot water, the tea and flowers bloom, creating a visual and sensory work of art. Some people like to leave their bloom in the cup or pot, but going along with the above point about overs-steeping, this really can take away from the flavor and enjoyment of your tea. It’s best to remove the bloom and set it aside. Made of the highest grade of special green tea of fresh spring crops, Jasmine Flowers and Chrysanthemum.

Using a tea with a strong flavor profile would completely take away from those delicate notes.CUSTOMS CHARGES: All commercial goods arriving from the UK are subject to VAT, Import Duty and a handling fee in the country receiving the goods.
