What Is Blossoming Tea?
In the ancient Chinese culture, blossoming tea was a symbol of longevity. Today, it is still the same in the Chinese and Japanese tea cultures, but others around the world are enjoying the same beautiful experience. If you are not familiar with blossoming tea, read on. You will discover why this particular type of tea blossom is so unique.
In order to experience blossoming tea at its best, you will need a glass teapot set. When you place the tea blossom inside, fill with water, and slowly begin to heat the teapot, you will be quite surprised. As the water heats, the flower tea blossom begins to bloom. The result is a colourful floral bouquet – right inside the teapot. The tea blossom may be used up to three times and it will remain quite beautiful in water for several days.
How does a tea blossom affect the taste of the tea? While you may think that the tea would be overpowered with a strong floral flavour, it really is not. The flowers add subtle notes, but do not overpower the taste of high quality green or oolong tea. The most common blossoming tea includes blooms of jasmine, chrysanthemum, amaranth, marigold, and sunflowers. There are combinations available, too, that really showcase their colourful beauty. Imagine a pot of tea that develops into a gorgeous blossom bouquet right before your eyes. Each tea blossom is brought forth in its beauty in only three minutes.
Blossoming tea is perfect as a centrepiece for a formal dinner party, a family gathering, or even just when you need a few minutes to relax and rejuvenate. Do not be surprised when those in attendance are enthralled as the tea blossom unfolds – it is really quite an experience!
You can find blossoming tea online through select vendors. Once very scarce, the demand for these beautiful teas has increased dramatically in the past few years. Now, you can find your favourite flowering teas online and have them delivered right to your door. It is not as expensive as you might think, either. Some sites also offer beautiful tea sets, including the glass teapot, glass cups or mugs, and a selection of flowering teas. It is really a great gift idea for anyone who really enjoys a great cup of tea.
If you are not sure which type of blossoming tea you will like, you can find samplers tins that allow you experience many of the different flavours. These also make great gifts for those on your gift list that might be hard to buy for.
In closing, if you have never had the experience of a tea blossom opening up into a beautiful bouquet, it is certainly one to consider! Not only is the steeping a wonderful thing to witness, the teas are incredible. Perfect for any formal event or just when you would like to relax and unwind, you will love the imagery and the resulting cup of tea.
