Jasmine Bloom

About Jasmine Bloom

These artfully blooming tea balls combine the elegance of white tea with the enchanting aroma of jasmine. Chinese artisans in the province of Fujian create these blooming sensations by sewing them together by hand. The hand-sewn tea balls only unveil their breathtaking bloom when placed in a glass vessel and steeped in boiling water. Each pack contains six tea blossoms infused with delicate jasmine aroma accomplished by laying fresh jasmine flowers alongside the tea at night to impart its scent.

About blooming tea

Each ball is meticulously crafted from carefully bound tea leaves and flowers, which bloom when steeped in hot water. Commonly used flowers include jasmine, marigold, lily, and hibiscus. This variety makes Blooming Tea a popular gift and a highlight at special occasions. In the Chinese tea ceremony, Blooming Tea is often served as the focal point, impressing both visually and taste-wise. The slow unfolding of the bloom symbolises peace and patience, central elements of the tea ceremony.

Effects

White tea is valued for its gentle effects and numerous health benefits. It is characterised by its mild aromas and low caffeine content, making it a soothing yet invigorating choice. Rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, white tea can help reduce cellular damage and support heart health. The anti-inflammatory properties of the tea strengthen the immune system and contribute to overall well-being. Additionally, white tea can promote skin health and provide a calming effect on the body.

How to enjoy

Savour these blooming jasmine tea balls particularly in the afternoon or early evening to unwind after a long day. The visually stunning unfolding of the blossoms makes this tea the perfect companion for peaceful, meditative moments or social gatherings with friends. The delicate jasmine fragrance pairs beautifully with light desserts like lemon cake or almond biscuits.
