Lovers Three Flowers Tea is a delightful green tea blossom, hand-tied by artisans from Yunnan province in China. This tea is inspired by a legend in which an artisan observed maidens picking fresh flowers and envisioned the joy and warmth in their heart from doing so; he sought to create a tea with a nosegay of flowers that would invoke the same feeling. This special blossom slowly unfolds to reveal a striking bouquet and delicious aroma to enliven the senses.

This handcrafted combination of whole Chinese green tea leaves, Amaranth, Jasmine, Lavender and Lily produces a light, almost pale liquor and balances natural astringency with sweet undertones similar to honey or chamomile.

About Flowering Teas

Flowering teas (or blooming teas) are an exquisite and delightful experience, both in terms of taste and stunning visuals. Formed into a bulb by hand; the crafter begins by selecting the freshest whole green tea leaves and binding them carefully to a beautiful selection of flowers and flower petals, this is then left to dry and set into a delicate bundle.

When steeped, the bundle slowly unfurls in a process resembling a blooming flower to reveal the beautifully laid out tea leaves and the flowers inside which emerge as a stunning centrepiece. The combination of tea leaves and flowers produce a wonderfully scented liquor from pale yellow to golden in colour and often a light flavour with sweet undertones.

Flowering teas are typically sourced from the Yunnan province in China and the flowers most commonly used are globe amaranth, chrysanthemum, jasmine, lily, hibiscus and osmanthus. It is unclear whether flowering tea is a modern creation or an older invention from China; but we do know that it has become hugely popular since its introduction to the West in the latter half of the 20th century.

Flowering tea is best served in a glass teapot or mug in order to fully enjoy the performance of the opening blossom.
