This green tea has a special blossoming or blooming characteristic. Each bulb is comprised of fine quality green tea hand assembled and sewn together with marigold blossoms. When the tea is steeped, the green tea leaves gradually blossom, giving way for the golden petals of the marigold to bloom to its full potential. The tea has a yellow hue with a pleasant light floral aroma. The taste is smooth with a lightly floral aftertaste. A glass teapot or cup such as our that is pictured is highly recommended for full appreciation of this tea
