These teas are made with top-quality buds, hand-tied into a multiple of shapes, including peaches, seashells, hearts, pagodas, mushrooms, and even Chinese goddesses. During steeping, Display teas AKA Blooming Teas open up to reveal the long leaves they are made of and sometimes the delicate flowers hidden inside. For fullest enjoyment, we recommend preparing Blooming teas in a glass vessel and taking the time to watch them gradually unfurl and open up.

We have organic blooming teas with flowers available in white and green tea and Blooming teas with flowers enclosed in white, green and black tea. In order to achieve the best results, place the bud in a glass pot filled with water that is warmer than 200 degrees Fahrenheit.  Then watch with awe as the bud blooms into a wonderful shape.  When the tea bud has fully uncurled, the brewing process is complete. After consuming the tea, one can place the uncurled bud in a glass container or vase filled with water to use as a decoration. To enjoy all that display teas have to offer, it is recommended to use a specialty glass pot with an attachable warmer.
