Made by artisans in Anhui Province, spring-picked green tea leaves are artfully sewn with silken threads into the shape of a mushroom and then infused with the aroma of fragrant jasmine flowers. When brewed, the mushroom “blooms” into a lily-shaped flower with a bright red clover blossom at its center. The tea is mild and sweet, with a soft jasmine flower aroma. Made from a tea varietal that doesn’t tend toward bitterness, Red Blossom can be enjoyed throughout a meal and can be infused multiple times. It also makes a very convenient tea for travelers.
To showcase this tea at its finest, we recommend brewing it in a wine glass or tempered glass cup.
Origin: China, Anhui Province.
Harvest: Spring 2011
Brewing Recommendations: Red Blossom is a unique and beautiful tea which merits a special presentation. We recommend brewing in a large glass cup or in a gaiwan (the traditional Chinese covered cup). Place one piece in each cup. Heat water until steaming (170 - 180º F). Let steep 2 - 3 minutes. Good for multiple infusions.
