The story

A tea that puts on a show

Flowering teas are made by hand-tying early-season green tea leaves around real blossoms, then shaping them into a tight ball. When hot water hits, the whole thing unfurls slowly: leaves opening outward, flowers emerging from the centre. Dragon Four Flowers wraps four blooms inside: amaranth, jasmine, chrysanthemum and lavender, each adding a soft floral note without overwhelming the tea underneath.

The green tea base is light and smooth rather than grassy or astringent. Brewed right, with cooler water and a bit of patience, it stays clean with a subtle vegetal sweetness. The flowers lift the cup without turning it into potpourri.

This is not a tea you make in a rush with one eye on your emails. It wants a glass teapot, a slow afternoon, maybe someone across the table to watch it open. Once brewed, the bloom can sit in cool water as a centrepiece for a few days. Proper theatre, minimal effort.

How to brew it

Let it unfurl properly

01Hot (glass teapot)

Amount
1 tea ball
Water
80°C, 3–4 cups
Time
5–10 minutes

Place ball in pot first, then add water gently. Pouring directly on top can break it apart.

02Second steep

Amount
Same ball
Water
80°C, fresh
Time
5 minutes

Good for 2–3 infusions; flavour softens each time

03As a centrepiece

Amount
Brewed bloom
Water
Cool fresh water
Time
2–3 days

Transfer to a clear bowl after brewing and keep topped up with cool water

Shop tip: Use water just off the boil, around 80°C, and let the tea come to you rather than rushing it. The slower it opens, the better it looks.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

How many cups does one tea ball make?

Each ball makes around 3–4 cups and can be steeped 2–3 times. Top up with fresh hot water once the first pot is poured.

Does it taste strongly of flowers?

The floral notes are gentle. Jasmine and lavender lift the tea rather than dominate it. The green tea base stays clean and smooth.

Do I need a glass teapot?

You do not need one, but you would be missing the point. The whole appeal is watching it open. A heat-safe glass teapot or large heatproof glass works well.

How much caffeine does it have?

Medium caffeine, similar to other green teas. Fine for an afternoon cup but perhaps not right before bed.

How should I store it?

Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas. The tea balls are delicate, so handle them gently.

Full product details

Dragon Four Flowers Flowering Tea is a bright, clean artisan blossoming tea with a fresh, refined flavour and a beautifully balanced finish.

A tea that blooms with quiet drama, Dragon Four Flowers is hand-tied using early-season Chinese green tea leaves wrapped around four real blossoms, designed to unfurl slowly in hot water into a stunning flowering display.

In the cup, it’s elegantly light and smooth, with gentle vegetal sweetness and a soft floral lift that complements the green tea rather than stealing the show. It’s part tea, part centrepiece — ideal for glass teapots, slow afternoons, and anyone who enjoys a little theatre with their brew (no applause required).
