Blooming Teas & Botanicals
What are Blooming Teas?
​
Blooming Teas are pure natural green tea leaves that are wrapped around beautiful hand tied bouquets of botanicals and packed tight into a small tea ball. Designed to unfurl and reveal the flower display within a few minutes once you pour boiling water slowly over the tea ball.
​
Every Blooming Tea is crafted individually by hand and the resulting flavour is a fresh, mellow green tea that takes on an ever slight hint of the flowers within. Some of our Blooming Teas also have extra infusions such as peppermint or mango for the lovers of flavoured teas.
​
Each tea ball makes 6-10 cups of pure bliss which can be enjoyed in one sitting or over a few days and can be made in any heat resistant jug/cup/glass - even a wine glass or beer glass!​​
​
We use only all natural, spray free and hand harvested green tea leaves, botanicals and fruits with all our teas.

For the Perfect Brew
​
-
For the perfect brew, we recommend a tea cup or tea pot with a minimum 8cm width and tall enough to pour enough water at least 10cm high (remember the ball needs room to unfurl!). But you can use any vessel - a jug or even a wine glass!
-
Pop the Blooming Ball into your vessel and pour 100deg (boiling) fresh water slowly over the ball
-
Sit back and watch the ball unfurl and your flowers grow over 2-3 minutes
-
If the ball doesn't sink to the bottom after 2-3 minutes, give the vessel a little swirl/jig to release any air bubbles that may be trapped inside the ball
-
leave another 2-3 minutes (or to your taste) for your preferred steep
-
Each tea ball can make up to 6-10 cups and can be enjoyed again by refilling with more hot water or store in the fridge for another sitting
​
Storing in the Fridge
-
Remove the unfurled ball from the vessel and discard any water.
-
Pop the ball into a clean container and place into the fridge until next time
-
When ready to use again, just refill with hot water and seep until your desired taste
-
Best used within 1-3 days
