White tea flowers are made up of tea from the high mountainous regions of Fujian Province, China. White tea is a delicate, minimally processed tea from the Camellia sinensis plant, using young flowers and leaves hand-picked in early spring and dried quickly to prevent oxidation. The result is subtle flavours (floral, fruity) and high antioxidant content. White tea is plucked only a few days a year, at the beginning of the season. This tea is not fermented.
To obtain the tea flower, white tea is blended with various flower essences that add flavour and aroma. Finally, the tea and flowers are formed into a ball, which only opens into a ‘flower’ in boiling water.
You can see a video on how to make the tea HERE.
Preparing for
- boil about 500-800 ml of water and pour it immediately into a clear glass jug (for example, THIS jug). Please note: unlike with ordinary tea, boiling water is necessary to ensure that the tea flower is fully opened.
2. gently place the tea ball in the water – you will see a beautiful “flower” form from the tea ball within 8-10 minutes.
3. the minimum recommended pulling time is 8 minutes, but you can let it go a little longer on the road. This high quality black tea can withstand long standing times without becoming bitter.
The White Tea Tea Flower Set is packaged in a beautiful black box with magnetic closure.
Keep cool and dry.
