Flowering Tea（工艺花茶）

What is Flowering Tea

A flowering tea, also called blooming tea, blossoming tea or artisan tea, is a small bundle of dried tea leaves and flowers bound together with cotton thread into a ball. When steeped, the bundle expands and unfurls in a process that emulates a blooming flower. Typically they are made by hand with complicated skills. Flowers commonly used in flowering teas include globe amaranth, chrysanthemum, jasmine, lily, hibiscus, and osmanthus.

Flowering teas are often prepared in a transparent vessel for easy viewing. They can be refreshed several times by adding more water as needed, from 5 to 15 times depending on the variety. Flowering teas are fragrant, aromatic teas that do not tend to get bitter with extended steeping.
