Tea Garden
Why use an everyday tea bag when you can watch a redolent tea flower bloom instead?
There is plenty to love about the art and ritual of tea, and nowhere is it more evident than in handcrafted organic tea blooms, beautifully presented in a sustainable wood box at VivaTerra. Just drop the blooms into hot water, and the tea leaves bloom into voluptuous, fragrant “flowers” as they steep.
I’m also a fan of Numi Tea, a small company devoted to the art, craft and community of tea. Numi also makes spectacular flowering teas; rosettes of tea leaves are hand-sewn by tea artisans in the Yunnan province of China. For everyday, Numi offers premium organic black, green, oolong and white teas, and herbal tea blends that are naturally caffeine-free.
I’ve had to recently give up my daily cup of Equal Exchange Mind, Body & Soul organic and fair-trade coffee, but these flowering teas offer a whole other experience.

I drink Ego Tea flowering teas and absolutely love them. It is so relaxing to set down in the evening and watch the tea flower bloom and then enjoy the smooth taste. What I like about Ego teas is that they don’t have a super strong Jasmine flower taste like many of the other teas on the market. From what I understand, many companies make the Jasmine taste super strong to mask the fact that the tea leaves are not fresh. Ego’s flavor consists of green tea with a very slight hint of sweetness. I usually buy the tea from their website, but I have seen it at a couple of specialty tea shops. You can check them out at: http://www.egotea.com.
