- How do you brew a blooming tea ball?
- Use near-boiling water in the glass teapot and let the ball steep for about three to five minutes. The bloom opens as it absorbs water, so give it room and don't stir it.
- Does it contain caffeine?
- Yes. It is white tea, so it is caffeinated, though white tea is generally milder than black tea.
- Can the tea balls be reused?
- A bloom is typically good for one or two steepings. After that the flavor fades and the flower loses its shape.
- Is the glass teapot safe on the stove?
- Treat it as a brewing and serving vessel, not a stovetop kettle. Heat water separately and pour it in to avoid thermal shock.
- Who is this set best for?
- Tea drinkers who enjoy presentation and floral white tea, and anyone looking for a ready-made gift. Someone who wants strong, brisk tea may find it too delicate.
