Blooming tea is a category of special hand woven Chinese tea with flowers that unbelievably “blooms” in your cup right before your eyes! It is a beautiful and luxurious tea drinking experience fit for royalty.
Our Banana Boom was hand woven with care; scented green tea with flowers are masterfully tied together by hand to delight all your senses. Once the tea ball is dropped in freshly boiled water, the tea “blooms” right in your teapot or glass like a flower.
The beautiful blossom unfurls and displays fine green tea adorned with a luxurious carnation flower with a trail of pure white jasmine. Its flavor is fresh green tea, and full sweet banana flavor. This is truly a unique way to invite a moment of calm to your day, a one of a kind experience, and also makes the absolute perfect gift.

Sipdown (1379)!
Made this one as a larger Western style teapot because, well, that’s what you do with flowering teas. I have a box of these flavoured ones from Tealyra that feels like it’s constantly staring at me from the shelf it’s on, and I never want to brew them up because I’m never in the mood to commit to a full pop of one on my own – but I just bit the bullet today to get that sipdown in.
It’s… Well, it’s conflicting. Flowering teas are sort of always terrible; the quality of the tea used isn’t typically all that exceptional and they keep steeping all the way up until you finish the pot so they’re usually very bitter and gross by the end – which was the case here too.
All that said, the first half of this pot was actually shockingly lovely. Though very much on the grassier side, that slight green edge played in really well with the banana. It was super authentic banana with a mellow sweetness and a bit of a starchy sort of finish. With the base, it felt like eating a banana just a day off from being perfectly ripe. Not too sweet, and not at all candy or “banana runts” like. Not baked, banana bread style banana either. Really fresh, and just simple yet balanced.
And then it got over steeped and yucky. Alas, the curse of blooming teas.
