Flowering teas, also called blooming teas, are a combination of tea leaves and various types of flowers. Tea buds, premium grade green tea, are handpicked in early spring, in the morning, before buds have a chance to open. The leaves are then hand sewn with cotton thread and tied to flowers like jasmine, hibiscus, chrysanthemum or rose by skillful Chinese artisans in order to make rosettes, designed to unfurl into beautiful, artful shapes when brewed. Given this, they should be brewed directly in a tall clear glass or glass teapot, so you can enjoy both the taste and the artistic display.
While brewing the flower tea, you will see they are very charming and attractive. You can not only enjoy the delicacy of tea and mellowness of flowers, but also can appreciate the sense of beauty.
