Using Silver Needle White Tea and flowers, it gives a mellow flavor. Great for drinking and displaying. (We usually drink them first then use them for display).
This type of tea is handcrafted by binding tea leaves and flowers together in a bulb and then it is left to dry. When this bundle of dry flowers and leaves is steeped in hot water, it expands – resulting in an elegant blooming flower. The blooming flowers in hot water are the ones that will capture the most attention.
Blooming tea is derived from the Fujian province of China. Most commonly used flowers in the flowering tea include lily, hibiscus, globe amaranth, jasmine, osmanthus, and chrysanthemum. Serve blooming tea in a glass container to see the beautiful flower unfurl in front of you. The teas are all hand-made according to the Chinese traditional stories.
Taste: When placed in boiling hot water, the leaves unfurl. This allows the drinker to revel in the taste of tea.

PU'ERH TEA
Bulang Raw Puerh
Bulang is one of the larger tea-growing mountains in Xishuangbanna. The name of “Xishuang Banna” is originated from the Thai language. The ancient route of Tea and Horse started from the Southern end of Xishuang Banna. The raw Puerh tea was invented and introduced during the dynasty of Ming which was about 700-800 years ago. Ripe Puerh was invented in the 1970s.
Puerh tea consists of two completely different categories. One is called “Raw Puerh Tea” and another is “Ripe Puerh Tea”. To simplify it, it goes from pan-frying, rolling, drying, and aging it in the storage for raw Puerh tea. As for ripe Puerh, it is fully fermented by mold rather than aged in storage. Normally, people dislike Puerh because of the moldy flavor which is caused by the poor quality of the tea. The earthy flavor in Puerh tea does not only give an unpleasant drinking feeling but also causes health risks. This is why we are carefully selected Puerh from a trusted tea farm.

Puerh Tangerine
A ripe Puerh tea stuffed into a whole tangerine created a tangy and citrusy orange peel aroma and taste. Dried tangerine is used to fortify the spleen and eliminate dampness and inflammation.
