Benefits and Features
The black tea base contains high concentrations of theaflavins and thearubigins, compounds responsible for distinctive flavor characteristics and potential health benefits. These polyphenols demonstrate significant antioxidant activity, with ORAC values exceeding 1,000 μmol TE/g. The carefully controlled oxidation process ensures optimal development of these compounds while maintaining balanced astringency.
The preserved flowers contribute additional bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and essential oils. These components not only enhance the sensory experience but also provide complementary therapeutic properties. The steeping process facilitates gradual extraction of both tea and floral compounds, resulting in a complex flavor profile that evolves throughout multiple infusions.
Manufacturing techniques preserve the natural enzymes and beneficial compounds while ensuring food safety and stability. Each sphere can be reinfused multiple times, with evolving flavor profiles and sustained visual appeal across infusions.
Cultural Heritage
Blooming teas represent an intersection of Chinese tea artistry and botanical preservation techniques developed during the Ming Dynasty. The craft originated in Yunnan Province, where tea artisans developed specialized binding methods to create these theatrical preparations. Traditional techniques required years of apprenticeship to master the precise movements necessary for proper sphere formation.
Contemporary production methods maintain these artistic principles while incorporating modern food safety standards and quality control measures. The selection of flowers follows traditional Chinese medicine principles regarding complement and balance, creating harmony between visual presentation and therapeutic properties.
