Flowering Teas
China produces the world’s most elaborate teas. Also known as ‘craft teas’, these flowering teas are handmade by skilled artisans, using the high quality, long leaves of tippy green tea and flowers. When steeped in hot water, each blossom of flowering tea magically unfurls into a stunning floral display. Newby’s Flowering Teas are available in two sizes. Larger bulbs are the perfect size for our glass teapots and mini bulbs are ideal for our specially designed tea glasses.
