I have something to share with you. I am an artist and enjoy the ability to create items with my hands. When I heard that Blooming Tea was becoming a new medium, I was awe struck. I love learning new techniques. But, how would this be done?

It take about two years minimum for an artist to reach the caliber to create the effect of tea leaves bursting open in a cup. They have to train to be this good. This is an art form of tradition and is extremely outstanding. The leaves are put together, usually around a blossom, and gradually open to expose this elegant creation.

Now, I really love drinking tea. Almost any kind of tea. Black, green, white, orange, it does not make much of a difference to me. I enjoy trying different things for my tongue to enjoy. I am not afraid of new experiences. Whether the tea has milk, sugar, honey, lemon or other tastes, I do not mind. I know that tea is good for my body and for my mind.

This is how the effect works. You place boiling water in a cup and then put in your "flower". Slowly, as you watch, your tea will "flourish" into a gorgeous piece of ingenuity. Not only is it inspiring to see but, it tastes wonderful as well. This type of beverage is full of antioxidants and is very good for your health.

When I first heard about this, I had many doubts. I have been a connoisseur of tea for a few years now. I do enjoy the black pekoe types and drink them often. What will this tea do for me? Is it necessary to have a "dramatic" change for the tea to help me? Is this only a fad, so people will feel inclined to buy? Is it worth the money?

I have also found that with each of these blooms you can use them about three times each. Would you do that with a regular tea bag? This is wonderful! I think everyone should use these fantastic little trinkets! I believe it would help children to drink more tea. I have a nephew who will not try anything unless it is pretty. Something to think about parents!
