It's called blooming tea. When steeped, the hand-tied bundle expands and unfurls in a process that emulates a blooming flower. It's like a little garden unfolding in your teapot. Not only it's beautiful but the taste was surprisingly exquisite. I was expecting a bland floral taste but it was just perfect: subtle green tea characteristics with obvious floral undertones. I searched on the net for the exact blend in that particular bundle and I found out it might be jasmine, lily and amaranth. Well, that was a great tea time. Both for the tastebuds and the eyes!

salam,
juste pour te partager que le jasmin etait peut etre de l'Osmanthus, une plante de la pharmacopee chinoise (et japonaise aussi), dont une espece a effectivement un gout de jasmin.
en tous cas, le visuel donne envie d'en boire, c'est bien pensé; dommage qu'on ne connaisse pas toujours les conditions de culture puis de production de produits venant de chine, notament l'usage de produits toxiques.
Allahou Karim
salam wa rahmatullah.
