Flowering Tea is a new tradition that celebrates the tea leaf. Hand-picked, organically grown, premium white tender tea buds, top two green tea leaves, and golden-tipped black tea are hand sewn into bundles or rosettes with cotton thread by artisans in various regions of China. When steeped in hot water, these rare Leaves of Art slowly blossom into breathtaking shapes. The tea liquor releases a myriad of flavors from sweet and subtle to rich and bold. They are packaged in beautiful gem boxes or mahogany bamboo cases. For tea connoisseurs and beginners alike, Flowering Tea Bins make unforgettable gifts. Requiring no tea bag or strainer, Flowering Teas are environmentally kind as well as easy to serve. Numi offers a glass teapot that shows off the blooming petals.
