Become enchanted with the grace and delicate nature of hand tied blooming white teas. A treasure to fall in love with as blooming teas have been revered as the teas of love. The practice of hand-tying leaves is an age-old Chinese art form that dates back to the Song Dynasty. The late Queen of France, Marie Antoinette received a gift of blooming tea from the Emperor himself and adored the tea as it revealed the mysterious flower hidden within. The collection includes 12 hand-tied blooming tea balls (2 of each kind) and 2 double walled glass tumblers.

Comments about Teavana Teavana® Imperial Blooming Collection™ Gift Box:
This is a beautiful gift. Even the box is gorgeous. The teas take a while to steep, so be sure you have time to relax and enjoy! Also, all the teas are extremely light, mild-bodied white teas. Not for people who only like their tea strong, but great for people who don't like the "bite" of black tea! I use the tumblers a lot, and they're even beautiful with normal teas in them. Also, the tins that the blooms come in are reusable. I can't say enough what a beautiful gift this is. (Thanks, Mom!)
