I’ve been drinking and sharing the magic of premium quality blooming teas with people for years now and after the “blooming tea experience” nearly everyone has asked me why they felt so good following it. Well, it’s your lucky day because I’m going to tell you what I didn’t tell any of them…and if you were one of those I didn’t tell compare this answer to what you came up with and let me know how close you were:)

To start let’s cover some basics about what blooming teas are: in short, Blooming Teas (also known as flowering teas or craft teas) are hand crafted creations tying tea leaves around pretty flowers using cotton strings so that when they are dry, they look like little round shaped bulbs. When water is added to them, the tea unfolds, the flower emerges and a beautiful aroma, flower, and light hue are seen and experienced by the observer.

The secret behind the awesome effects is that blooming teas fully engage more of your senses (compared to other “types” of tea). By witnessing the tea bloom into a flower you become more connected with it. As silly as it sounds you develop a relationship with it. When it opens, the aroma wafts to your nose, engaging your olfactory system, creating a calming, soothing feeling. Observing the pretty flower, breathing in the floral aroma, then sipping the light hue tea (feeling its warmth and love cross your lips onto your palate, into your throat, eventually warming your whole body…through the arms into your hands, through your legs into your feet) creates a ceremony in and of itself. Adding this aspect to tea drinking, engaging all of these senses, puts you into the present moment, allowing the tea to do its job. Its jobs are many…it works hard for you while you enjoy your experience (by yourself or with others).

So do yourself and your loved ones a favor and invest in a nice 64oz glass tea pot with which to enjoy your premium blooming tea. Always remember that not all blooming teas are created equal and in fact I have been pretty disappointed with most company’s blooming teas (most can only handle 1 steeping!)

The blooming teas sold on this website were made using tea grown in nutrient rich soil, at altitudes that contained the perfect “mist” in the mornings and “dew” at night, and was hand-picked (sorry, not by monkeys); then was ceremonially infused with night blooming jasmines like it has been done for many many generations within this family. You’ll love this experience as well as taste and feel the difference!
