A delicate, refreshing, light, silky tea with a subtle sweetness brought by
the jasmine and very delicate floral note with the amaranth flower. There is
no bitterness at all...a delight!
The term of ‘tea flower’ refers to the art of combining tea with
flowers and presenting them into mini ‘sculptures’. It is an ancient
Chinese tradition and only very agile hands are able to put these together by
hand.
It is made of up to 200 high quality green tea buds tied together by hand
around
a pink amaranth flower. The tea buds have been scented with jasmine by
previously
mixing the tea with jasmine petals until the tea absorbs the jasmine scent.
(there is no actual jasmine petals left in the final ‘sculpture’).
The quality of the green tea is of the best. Only the youngest buds/tips have
been used. These young buds/tips are believed to be richer in protective
antioxidants
(antioxidants protect body cells against harmful rays). They also hold the
most
delicate and refined taste of green tea. They used to be reserved for Chinese
Emperors.
Preparation instructions are available on the pack.
