This blooming tea slowly unfurls like an opening flower when placed in hot water. Long, delicate green tea leaves open like petals to reveal a floating double chain of jasmine flowers topped with a young rosebud emerging from the center. This drinkable work of art is hand-sewn into its distinctive flowering shape with silk thread. This tea is also available as part of our Blooming Tea Sampler gift box, along with the Chrysanthemum Green Blooming Tea.
The Creation of Blooming Teas
Our blooming teas are made by the original inventor of blooming tea, the tea master Wang Fang Sheng, who has been making tea for most of his life. Blooming teas were created to do something new and different with green tea. He uses a base of high quality early spring green tea buds and leaves for delicate sweetness. The young leaves are harvested from the local Di Shui Xiang tea cultivar in Anhui Province, a region also famous for its Huangshan Maofeng (Yellow Mountain) green tea. This Rose Jasmine blooming tea is one of more than 600 visually stunning designs he has created since 1986. His son Wang Huizhou is a sixth-generation tea maker who has created 12 display designs of his own.
An Immersive Sensory Tea-Drinking Experience
The light brew is delicate and not overpowering, with a clean green tea flavor complemented by floral aromatics. The jasmine flowers help relax the nervous system while the rose promotes circulation. Blooming teas are especially beautiful when brewed in glassware that affords the drinker a full view of the slowly blooming tea sculpture. The visuals, aromatics, flavors, and sensations while enjoying this tea create an immersive full sensory experience.
