'Flowering' or 'Display' Teas

This a range of very beautiful and unique products which are sculpted from tender, green or black tea shoots to resemble things such as flowers, shells and fruits. They were created originally as a tribute to the great mountains where the tea gardens are found and made with great skill and care by hand. They often contain real dried flowers that reveal themselves dramatically and gracefully when infused. As well as the usual health benefits associated with green and white tea the added flowers also add extra health benefits. Of course they also make the most delightful and unusual gifts. They are also known as 'Blooming', 'Artistic' and 'Display' teas. Ours are made using the highest grade of of silvery buds although many inferior grades are also available. 

As these teas are supplied in pieces the supplied weight will be approximate.

 Super Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls   Sample Packet Available £15.00
  100g 

This is the finest grade of this popular hand rolled tea. Each kilogram in weight is made up of 14,000 pearls. Just eight will make a half pint of tea and you can use the same leaves again for at least another brew. If you do the maths you'll find it works out at just six pence a cup for one of the finest and rarest teas in the world! The tea buds that make this tea are hand picked in gardens found among the chains of mountains, hidden in mist close to the Fujian border with Jiangxi. Night blooming jasmine flowers are picked in the morning with the tiny petals tightly closed and stored until the evening. As the flowers open they make a popping sound and the process begins. The blossoms are placed between layers of white tea buds for four hours and in this finest grade the process is repeated seven times. Each time the spent flowers are carefully removed and each leaf is skillfully hand rolled into a tiny pearl size ball. The tea is then wrapped in silk mesh and carefully dried. I enjoy this tea made in a wine glass or our special 'Flowering Tea' teapot.
