The Best Way to Watch a Flowering Tea Bloom Tea Not IncludedHandcrafted to BloomFlowering Tea is a new tradition dating back 10 years. Chinese artisans sew freshly picked, moist tea leaves around various flowers with cotton thread. The leaves may also be scented with jasmine for a more floral flavor. These elaborate designs take up to 10 minutes to sew before undergoing a drying process. Once placed in a glass teapot, boiling water is required for the leaves to expand and flowers to unfurl.Numi partners with Flowering Tea manufacturers who comply with Fair Labor standards.
