Blooming teas or flowering teas are incredibly special. These tea balls may seem pretty unassuming upon first glance, but once they are dropped into hot water they bloom to produce a wonderful display of flowers of tea leaves. Each balls is hand made by sewing each individual flower and leaf together in a knot. When the ball reacts to the hot water the knot is loosened revealing the intricate arrangement within. An individual flowering tea ball takes around half an hour to make.
