Creano Blossoming tea

The blooming tea offers an extraordinary experience: Inside the ball is an intricately bound exotic flower. The secret of the ball unfolds when it is placed in a vessel of boiling hot water. It begins to slowly open and ultimately reveals the embedded flower, which rises in a variety of shapes and vibrant colors. Almost everything about this tea is handmade. Only a few master binders are able to shape the dried leaves of white tea into a ball form, as the knowledge of this rare art is closely guarded. Thus, blooming tea remains a valuable rarity from China.

The blooming tea consists exclusively of the white tea "Yin Zhen," also known as "Silver Needle." The name derives from the silvery, silky hairs on the tips of its leaves. Due to its velvety soft and very mild taste, as well as its distinctive light aromas, this white tea is considered one of the finest tea varieties in the world. Only the unopened, particularly aromatic buds of the "Big White Tea Bush," which grows in China, are used. This tea is handpicked and produced with great care, allowing it to retain a relatively high content of polyphenols.

The mild-tasting white tea, like black and green tea, contains tea compounds. Variants include: White Affair (white tea with jasmine flower string), Solstice (white tea with marigold), Silver Wedding (white tea with jasmine flower arch), Flower Rain (white tea with rose petals), Gold Queen (white tea with marigold and peony petals), and Jewel Drops (white tea with rose and jasmine petals).
