It’s easy to categorize most types of teas into specific flavor profiles, even with subtle differences among tea growing regions, growing conditions, and the craftwork of tea masters. Flowering tea is something different altogether, offering a beautiful range of flavors, aromas, and presentations. Sphere-shaped flowering tea bundles are the most common, but other shapes are used as well, including ovals, heart shapes, cones, rosettes, flat discs, peach shapes, and sometimes even bundles that resemble a mushroom. The form of the tea bundle affects the appearance of the flowering tea bloom.

While you can certainly enjoy the flavor, scent, and health benefits of blooming tea in any old mug, not using the right equipment takes away from the visual pleasure of the experience.

Some flowering tea bundles are created for cups or mugs, while others are larger and more suitable for presentation in a teapot. Tea bundles typically bloom slowly, and watching the bloom unfold, and blossom is a relaxing and almost enchanting experience.
