Ingredients
Green tea, Jasmine flower, Chrysanthemum flowerBrew & Taste
Bloomimg tea usually gives a light brew to make the tea flower stand out in all of its glory. Flowering Almonds is no exception. The drink is a soft yellow color. The taste is delicious, light, pleasantly refreshing and jasmine-like.
Origins
This specific type of tea originates from China, usually from the Yunnan Province. They consist of a bundle of green and white tea leaves (rarely even black teas) that are rolled and tied together with a thin thread and one or more flowers. When water is poured over it, the bundle "grows" and opens.
It is not entirely certain how long green teas have been produced in China, but they arrived in Europe in the mid-20th century. There are reports, however, that its history reaches several hundred years back. Blooming tea or flowering tea is made only by hand and from young tea leaves. Dried flowers and herbs are artfully slotted between them. The most popular are white jasmine and osmanthus, orange marigold and red chrysanthemums.
The so-called artisanal tea is an unusual gift. In a 100g package you can usually count 15 balls of blooming tea, depending on their weight. It is possible to brew them repeatedly. Those who don't want to give up on the sight of the beautiful tea flower right after drinking their tea can transfer the bundle to a bowl or small aquarium with clean, cold water. While the petals are intact, they make for a wonderful interior decoration.
