How to Brew Blooming Tea

Remove the tea bloom from its sealed packaging and place the tea ball in your empty glass mug or glass teapot.

Heat fresh filtered water to 180° (water boils at 212° F, so your water doesn't need to be boiling before removing it from the heat).
(Note: keep in mind that boiling water too long will deplete the water of oxygen necessary for flavor extraction.) 

Place the tea flower pod in the bottom of the teapot or mug and pour hot water 3-4 inches above it to allow the flower to fully bloom.  

Watch the tea bloom unfurl from its tiny ball into a beautiful flower. This usually takes 3-10 minutes. Stir tea gently to even flavor before drinking.

If you used a tea pitcher or glass pot, simply pour your tea directly into your mug and add sweetener if desired.  If you steeped your flowering tea bloom in the mug, carefully remove the hot tea bloom and set aside. You can resteep at least 2-3 more times if you’re using a tea pitcher or glass pot, and at least 8-10 more times if you’re using an 8oz mug. This will depend on how long you initially let the tea ball steep for, and we suggest 

It's important to remove the tea bloom from your pitcher if you don't drink it all, because if you leave the flowering bloom in contact with the hot water for too long it can change the taste and usually makes it tastes too bitter.
