Bloeiende thee Dubbel Geluk

Watching the tied green tea ball slowly unfurl into a flower over about three minutes was half the fun. The blossom opened up beautifully and the tea itself stayed light and grassy without turning bitter.

I dropped one ball in a clear glass mug and watched the green tea leaves slowly unfurl around the blossom over about three minutes. The hand-tied string kept everything together until it opened, which made the whole thing feel like a little ritual rather than just tea.

Watched the little ball slowly unfurl into a full blossom in my glass teapot — the hand-tied string keeps everything neat until it opens. Mellow, smooth green tea, and the flower makes it feel special enough for guests.
