Blooming Tea on Teapot Tuesday

13 Comments/ 94/ 0

I love a good pot of blooming tea and after recently sending a little gift box of some to my sister I decided to get some for myself since my supply was running low.

The packaging of this is really special and fit for gift giving. I found this on Amazon here but I imagine you can find it in other places as well.

The best way to truly enjoy a blooming tea is to use a clear teapot so you can watch the little ball unfurl. The one I chose was an orange flavored one and I chose a below boiling temperature because it seemed a bit fragile. The box suggests a boiling temperature of 212 degrees but I loved the way mine turned out at a lower temperature.

A tiny little ball of tightly wrapped tea –isn’t it just adorable?

As the tea steeps it “blooms” into what is a little flower. Now I am not saying it looks like the picture on the package but it is still a fun little bloom, isn’t it?

The orange tea was tasty and I loved being able to watch the bloom unfold. Nothing finer than a nice pot of tea on a fall day. Lifting my cup to you – have a great day yourself and I hope it includes a bit of tea.

“All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes – a fact which is recognised in the extra ration issued to old-age pensioners.”

    I love these! I bought some at a Chinese Market in Vancouver once. They are so fun to watch. You do need a clear glass teapot though.

      Yes–a glass teapot is key to watching them unfurl. They are a fun tea to have every now and then.

    I received mine as a gift for Mother’s Day and I still have some flowers left to enjoy.
    Most of the flavors were also good ice down for enjoying in the hot weather.

      These are pretty light flavors and I bet they would be wonderful iced down as well. I may have to try that.

      It really was a nice light tea —perfect for a summer tea although it is no longer summer. 🙂

    Blooming tea is so fun. I just love how pretty it looks. I haven’t had any in a while and may have to get some now that you showed off your pretty blooms.
