Throughout time, tea has been associated with higher classes in society and in fact there are a number of tea ceremonies across the world, the most notable of which is the Japanese tea ceremony. With a world of tea treatments and flavors available, a tea lover has hundreds of variations to taste in a variety of ways from bagged tea, to loose tea, to the more beautiful blooming tea.
Blooming tea is an event in and of itself. The addition of this bundle of tea to boiling water is a ballet of unfurling leaves and blossoms which impart a strong flavor when brewed.
These teas are harvested and then sewn together with cotton thread into various bundles and shapes while still damp. Many blooms are more than the tea that makes them up, usually scented with flower blossoms for a stronger flower. Standard blooms used in their construction include jasmine, lily, chrysanthemum, and hibiscus.
Made by hand, the resulting shape be it a sphere, cone, or even mushroom dictates the time it takes to create, usually 1 to 10 minutes. Once a shape has been created, the drying and oxidation process is the same as with any other tea.
Drinking blooming tea should involve a glass tea pot, acting as a window onto the show. The tea bundle begins to unfurl when boiling water is added. The effect is that of a suspended flower bloom. These tea creations can be re-used up to three times and due to their strong and exotic flavors should not be steeped very long.
Giving tea as a gift can be a thoughtful endeavor, taking into account the tastes of the person you are creating the gift for. In the future, if you\'re making a variety basket of teas, throw in some blooming teas and watch your recipient react with joy and wonder.
