Blooming Teas

Categories: Shopping | Organic Food | Tea
  • Blooming teas are hand-rolled bundles of teas with edible and brewable flowers at the center of the tea leaf blooms, tightly rolled and secured with all natural cotton strings, so that when boiling water is added to them, the dried leaves reconstitute and open up, or 'bloom' revealing the flowers inside.

    Blooming teas are made with all sorts of tea, but the most popular is the white tea made from silver needle tea.http://www.teaposy.com/teaB.htm

  • History

    Blooming teas are an ancient art that has only recently begun to draw interest in the United States. Most teas are imported from a province in China known as the Yunnan region.http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-137736180/cup-still-cheers.html

    While blooming or flowering teas are rather expensive comparatively to traditional American teas varieties, they are long-lasting and can often be replenished several times without becoming bitter like many of the oolong and black tea varities of hot-brewed teas dohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_tea#cite_note-1

  • Buying Guide

    Some of the blooming teas are available for ordering in the United States, but they are all currently hand-rolled and manufactured in other countries, China being the most common country of import.

    When choosing a flowering or blooming tea, search for ones that are certified organic, are hand-rolled, and that come in pressure pouches that are oxygen and moisture free, as these will keep the dried teas fresher.
