How is flowering Tea made?

Question

I am a tea professional in india and was plesently surprised when I sow some Flowering Tea at a professional event. It was just wonderful.

I want to find out about the process of manufacture of these type of Teas. I have not been able to find any manufacturers in India or Sri Lanka. I trust most of it is made in China.

I am hopeing that someone would be able to help me in this.

Answer 1

I am assuming you are referring to balls that when dropped into hot water open up like blossoms?

I have several varieties of these teas.

The box I am looking at now is called Silver Tea Bud, hand-woven green tea. product of china

you make it 2 balls per medium pot

it is slightly fragrant and very refreshing.

hope this helps.

Answer 2

If it is not British tea, it is rubbish tea!

Answer 3

~ Flowering tea was created recently in the past 20 years in China. Most if not all flowering tea comes from China, as other tea origins (such as India, Sri Lanka, etc) have not picked up this new trend. Flowering teas are handpicked - premium white, green and black tea leaves are hand sewn with cotton thread by Chinese artisans into rosettes or tiny bundles.
