For many, the act of enjoying blooming tea is ritualistic. It’s best to enjoy this tea when you have the time to sit and be present in the experience. Enjoy blooming tea when you can sit, relax, watch the bundle unfold and blossom, then quietly appreciate the beauty as the tea steeps. As you pour hot filtered water, the magic does not happen immediately. Staying true to its playful nature, the little bulb carefully unwraps itself - not revealing too much at first. It builds the suspense until, in one sudden and exciting move, it lets go of the flower inside which travels upwards in your teapot like a soaring bird. Any type of edible flower can be used in a blooming tea bundle. Since the flowers don’t contribute a strong flavor or scent to the tea, the choice of floral is almost always dependent on the desired aesthetic of the tea once it blooms. Some tea bundles contain a single, prominent floral, such as a large chrysanthemum, while others feature multiple smaller flowers, like small rosebuds, marigolds, and jasmine flowers. Lavender is known for its calming effects and can be beneficial in relieving the severity of anxiety and depression for some people. Chamomile has similar properties and is well respected in the world of natural health for promoting healthy sleep. These are just a few examples of how certain flowers can enhance the already potent health benefits of tea. Appreciating the Aesthetic of Blooming TeaThe appearance of blooming tea depends on the type of tea, the flower used, and also the shape of the tea bundle, and how it was sewn together. Smaller, single flower blooms are often used for bundles created for cups or mugs. Bundles that are designed for glass teapots are sometimes more intricate, with multiple blooms opening and creating a design, including floral “vines” that reach up or expand outwards in the teapot.

Second, use the purest water that you have access to. If you live in an area with clean-tasting tap water, then this is fine. If your tap water is hard or has even the slightest metallic taste to it, even if it is filtered, it’s worth it to use purified water to maintain the integrity of the taste and scent of the tea bundle. To steep a tea flower and let it unfurl, you’ll simply need glass teaware and hot water. Small glass teapots are great because they’ll allow you to fully enjoy the blooming process.

Other theories point to blooming tea being a more recent invention, with its birth being in modern times.
