Hand Tied Flowering teas are often made with the emphasis on how the tea looks with little concern for tea quality. Jing has selected exceptional green tea as a base to the floral scent and flavour of the flowers. Why not make it into the perfect gift - see our tea ware for a range of gorgeous glass teapots.
*Based on 1 bulb per serving, infused twice.
Appearance:
Dry Leaf: Neat, mushroom-shaped button of tightly drawn green tea buds.
Wet Leaf: An explosion of variegated green tea leaves out of the heart of which unfolds flame-coloured lily petals and bursts of osmanthus blossoms.
Liquor: Pale green with orange glints.
Aroma:
Dry Leaf: Soft, sweet, straw-like intrigue with hint of orchard fruit and leaf.
Liquor: Bright and peachy, enticing and rounded.
Taste: Warm, green-tea sappiness with the fruity sweetness apriocot and mango flavours. There are also some peachy, toasty notes and a hint of umami.

A feast for the senses
Everyone who tries this tea is blown away: from the visual appeal of it blossoming in the gong fu teapot, to the delicate apricot colour, aroma and flavour, every aspect of this tea is simply exquisite. -
Nice tea
Great tea for Jing's 250ml gongfu teapot, the bloom fits it perfectly. This tea has a little stronger taste than most flowering teas, it's not so gentle as for example jasmine blooms - it's also less clear (contains a large amout of pollen) - you might want to pour it through a strainer. Overall, it's a great tea if you prefer stronger blooms. -
Flowering Osmanthus with fish cake
I drunk it during a relaxing lunch with salad and baked salmon fish cakes. The rather marked taste of the fish was smoothened firstly by notes of green-tea and then by the sweet touch of Osmanthus. Brewed for 5-6 minutes in a classical glass teapot. Wonderful scent and wonderful unfolding of the flower as well. Not to be missed. Davide
