530 Imperial Blossom
Tender, unopened leaf buds, jasmine and chrysanthemum flowers are carefully tied together and then rolled to form a shiny silver ball resembling a lichee nut. When infused with hot water it slowly opens, releasing its subtle and complex flavor and aroma as it blossoms into a yellow chrysanthemum flower with a single strand of white jasmine flowers emerging from the center.
Like the Sea Anemone (No. 544), we recommend preparing the Imperial Blossom in a glass or glass teapot so its delightful visual display can be fully enjoyed. Once emptied, glass may be refilled with water for another infusion.
Recommendations: Use 1 tea ball per 8-16 oz. glass or teapot. Heat fresh, cold water til steaming briskly (190°F) let steep for 5 min. Good for multiple infusions.
Ingredients: Green tea, chrysanthemum flower, jasmine flowers
Health Benefits: In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, practitioners have used green tea as a stimulant, diuretic, digestion aid and astringent. Studies show that green tea has the ability to regulate blood glucose, enhance mental performance, reduce inflammation, improve bone mineral density and lower risk of heart disease. It is a rich source of the polyphenol EGCG, shown to provide protection against cancer, particularly colon, lung and skin cancers.
