Is blooming tea a traditional part of ancient eastern cultures?
No, it is not. It started in China in about 1995. Our partner tea farm/factory hand-tied some silver needle tea leaves and a plum flower with cotton thread. That was the first blooming tea on the market from our tea farm. There is another tea farm in a different region of China that produces a type of green tea called Mao Feng. They also said that they invented blooming teas. Nobody really knows who made the very first blooming tea, but each different design does have a patented owner. Our tea factory holds 8 blooming tea design patterns.
