Laurel Fragrance - Blooming Tea

These unique and beautiful tea creations are comprised of Lily Flower, Osmanthus Flower, and Fujian White Tea buds.  As the tea steeps, the reddish orange lily flower gradually opens and osmanthus flower petals float up to the surface.

Each bulb is hand sewn in Fujian Province and is designed to gradually open into these beautiful displays when steeped.  Please note that these are hand made, and each one will be slightly different or "bloom" in slightly different ways.

The flavor profile of Laurel Fragrance is light, mild, and floral.  Osmanthus and Lily are the predominant flavors, but they do not overpower the subtle sweetness of the white tea.  It makes a quite soothing, refreshing, and pleasant infusion.

Steeping Directions:
These teas are ideally steeped in a 2-4 cup glass teapot or a large red wine (Burgundy, Cabernet, etc.) style glass with one bloom per glass.  Add 160-180 degree F water to the steeping vessel, add the bulb and watch it bloom.  Note: Cooler water (160 F) = longer the blooming time. Warmer the water (180 F) = shorter blooming time.  We recommend using a steeping temperature of approx 170 F.  Each bloom can be re-infused up to three times.

Important Note: Be sure your glass steeping vessels (teapot, wine glasses, etc) are made of heat tempered or heat resistant glass to avoid potential glass breakage and risk of injury from broken glass.
