and cosmos blossoms

☕ How to prepare
-
Place 1 tea ball into a cup or teapot.
-
Pour ~600 ml of hot water (approx. 80–90 °C) – the ideal temperature for the ball to unfurl beautifully without overheating the leaves.
-
Steep for 3–6 minutes (depending on the desired strength).
-
Watch it bloom – the tea will gradually open up into the shape of a flower, releasing its colour and aroma.
📌 After the first infusion, you can re-infuse the tea 2–3 times – each infusion will offer a slightly different flavour nuance.
