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.

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.
