What is a "teaposy"? A teaposy is a hand crafted blooming tea made of Silver Needle white tea. Among the rarest of all teas, Silver Needle white tea has a soft, delicate flavor. This special tea is produced in China's Fujian Province. The new buds are plucked from the tea bush before they open and withered to allow the natural moisture to evaporate before drying. Teaposies are made with the select spring and autumn harvests and scented with floral jasmine during peak season. The white tea is then accented with herbal flowers and fastened with natural cotton thread.
Teaposies are available in 8 distinct varieties including Butterfly, Calendula, Falling Water, Heart of Love, Lady Fairy, Let it Snow, Noble Essence and Red Song, or in a Teaposy medley assortment. Each box contains six individually vacuum-sealed blooming teas. For best results brew with boiling water in a heat resistant glass teapot like the Teaposy Tea for Two teapot or the Teaposy Daydream Teapot. Teaposies take several minutes to bloom. Pour your tea and then continue to add boiling water to the pot as you can get 4 to 6 pots of tea from one teaposy. You may continue to enjoy the beauty of the teaposy for several days by adding cold water to the pot. Do not pour directly over the teaposy - pour gently toward the side of the teapot. By changing the water frequently the teaposy may look beautiful for weeks!
