Blooming Amaranth buds are handsewn by tea artisans; an exquisite blend of green tea, marigold and amaranth blossom. Steep to unfurl & reveal the full artistry as it flowers. Blooming amaranth tea blend combines the fresh, vegetal notes of high-quality green tea with the vibrant blossoms of marigold and amaranth, creating a tea that is as visually stunning as it is flavourful. When steeped in hot water, these delicate buds unfurl, revealing a mesmerizing floral display—a perfect harmony of craftsmanship and nature.

The origins of blooming or flowering teas can be traced back to the Yunnan province of China during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE), a period renowned for its flourishing tea culture. Initially crafted as a luxurious offering for royalty and aristocrats, blooming teas were prized not only for their unique flavours but also for the intricate artistry involved in their creation. These teas were designed to evoke a sense of wonder and elegance, often presented as gifts during special occasions.

Each blooming tea is a labour of love, requiring exceptional skill and patience to sew tea leaves and flowers into compact bundles that later bloom in hot water. This tradition, rooted in both artistry and a deep cultural appreciation for tea, has since gained global popularity as a symbol of beauty, relaxation, and sophistication.
