The name of the tea is Lover's Three Flowers and this is what it looks like before it is brewed. Below is what happens as it steeps after you've popped it the water.
After it has steeped for a while, you get this beautifully light tea. It tasted as wonderful as it looks!
Here are a couple more pictures of the open flower. The three flowers in this delight are Amaranth, Jasmine and Osmanthus. How exotic and romantic does that sound?
Finally, here is a before and after shot.
I just wish I could have invited you all to join me. Maybe next time, for as you see, I still have one flower left!

I was surprised at this kind of tea during a tea ceremony when I went to Beijing a few years ago! And, yes, I couldn't believe how expensive some teas can be... I tried one of those chrysanthemum ones in a clear glass cup waiting at the Beijing airport, very nice and fragrant - it was amazing watching the brewing process. LindaS
I'm not a tea person, but that is just too pretty to pass up! That open flower is gorgeous!
Hi, thanks for your post about my blog. I didn't know tea could be so pretty! It looks like something you could use in a book. Maybe about casting love spells in a romantic novel.
OH WOW!!! I have never seen anything like this! Just curious, I wonder how expensive this tea is? I would sure like to try it sometime.
Stop by my blog, I have a give away coming up for my birthday in a couple of week:)
That stuff is amazing! What a joy it must be to watch in your cup!
