About Our Flowering Tea Bulbs

It’s easy to categorize most types of teas into specific flavor profiles, even with subtle differences among tea growing regions, growing conditions, and the craftwork of tea masters. Flowering tea is something different altogether, offering a beautiful range of flavors, aromas, and presentations. Made of the highest grade of special green tea of fresh spring crops, Jasmine Flowers, Rosebud and Marigold. Hibiscus: Hibiscus flower is commonly used in combination with traditional dried-leaf teas, and some enjoy steeping just the dried flower on its own. Anyone who has enjoyed hibiscus tea knows that it produces a beverage with reddish-pink hues. Some blooming teas use a bit of hibiscus for both the fruity floral flavors it offers and also to add a unique visual to the tea. Hibiscus isn’t the most common flower used in blooming tea bundles, but you can find some made with it. Hibiscus also offers anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. The flowers used in blooming tea contribute zero caffeine to the tea, so the amount of caffeine depends entirely on the type of tea used. Both white tea and green tea, which are the most common types of teas used in blooming bundles, have lower amounts of caffeine than their darker tea counterparts. As you pour hot filtered water, the magic does not happen immediately. Staying true to its playful nature, the little bulb carefully unwraps itself - not revealing too much at first. It builds the suspense until, in one sudden and exciting move, it lets go of the flower inside which travels upwards in your teapot like a soaring bird.
