One thing we’re sure of is that the roots of blooming tea are firmly set in China. Some tea historians believe there is evidence to support the theory that the art of blooming tea first began in the 10 th century in the royal courts of China.

White and green teas are also more delicate in flavor and scent, so they enhance the contributions of the florals rather than overpowering them. The floral component lends very, very subtle flavor and scent, and sometimes it’s barely detectable. Using a tea with a strong flavor profile would completely take away from those delicate notes. To make a blooming tea bundle, tea leaves or buds are carefully chosen for how they’ll bloom within the bundle. The tea is then carefully sewn by hand into the desired shape of the bundle, with a floral inside. White teas, with their long, soft tea leaves and buds, are often the most desired for their presentation upon bloom. Sometimes, a flavoring component is added to tea at this time.
