Artisan Blooming teas, also known as Artisan handcrafted tea, performance teas, and display teas, among other names, are hand-sewed individual tea leaves forming a ball, and designed to perform an action when steeped in hot water, usually unfurling into decorative flower-like arrangements. Flowering teas are usually prepared in glass or otherwise transparent cups or mugs so that the performance can be seen.

Varieties: Varieties include small, silvery green tea balls with various flowers which open to release the flowers inside, and teas that are shaped into objects such as plants and animals which expand or change.

Ingredients: Tea Flowering tea primarily uses green, white and jasmine tea, but black tea is also used in some instances. Flowers Common flowers used in flowering teas include globe amaranth, carnation, chrysanthemum, jasmine, marigold, and rose. When added to water just off the boil, flower ball teas will slowly open, or "blossom", into the form of a chrysanthemum-like flower.
