Blooming teas appeal to the eye as much as the palate: each serving is a hand-tied cluster of tea leaves that slowly unfurls in water to reveal a delicate flower hidden within. The splendor of the flower "blooming" in the cup enhances the wondrous taste of tea leaves gathered at the peak of freshness. Enjoy these yourself, or share with those you love.

Am I supposed to untie these or no? There's a white string around all the balls and no instructions to untie or not to. Help!
Asked by Brook Sheller
on June 6th, 2022
“ Hello Brook! You can leave the strings on the tea to see a beautiful uncurling when steeping. Removing the string will separate the leaves and you'll lose the blossom shape. ”

Which is the best tea pot or cup to use to watch the blooms unfurl? I guess you wouldn't use an infuser with these.
