Flowering teas are handcrafted rosettes of premium white, green, and black tea leaves that bloom into an
elegant work of art when steeped in hot water.
These teas are picked in the early morning while still damp. The leaves are then flattened and hand sewn
with fine cotton threads into the various shapes and bundles. Some are also scented with jasmine blossoms
before sewing begins for a more floral flavor. Many shapes take only a minute to sew while other more
elaborate designs of lilies or oesmanthus may take up to ten minutes. While still moist the leaves are shaped
into balls, mushrooms, cones, etc. Finally, the teas go through the usual drying, oxidation, and firing process.
