Is Blooming Tea a Healthy Drink or Just a Gimmick?

Posted under Blooming Tea by Jenna

There are many websites, blogs, articles and various pieces of information about how beneficial tea is to our health.  And most of these sources talk about white tea, loose green tea, jasmine green tea and all sorts of other teas, some exotic, some very ordinary, some organic.  But very, very few talk about blooming tea, or flowering tea as it is sometimes called, and the health benefits in drinking this type of tea.

Watching Blooming Tea

The reason could be that the sheer gimmick of watching blooming tea blossom in hot water takes away from the actual drinking of tea, let alone consideration of its benefits.

The thing is that blooming tea (or flowering tea if you like) is made up of tea.  Yes, that could be a big surprise from something that is so clearly manufactured!  But these tea balls are made up of white tea, black tea, loose green tea, chrysanthemum leaves, jasmine green tea, flowers tea and many different types of tea that look good when soaked in water.  And what’s more, they taste alright as well.  The only slight disadvantage about drinking blooming tea is that the water can be luke warm by the time the blossoming has finished and because it’s been so long in water, sometimes the tea tastes a little bitter.  This is because black tea in particular leaves a bitter taste if left in water too long.  But these are minor aspects.

To get back to the subject of health benefits – because flowering tea is made up of tea, it makes complete sense that this tea is just as beneficial as other teas.  So all the health benefits attributed to all the other teas, particularly loose green tea, is just as valid for blooming tea (flowering tea).
