Flower Lychee Ball – a tea with a soul that blooms and captivates with its beauty

Flower Lychee Ball is one of the most spectacular offerings in the tea world – a hand-formed ball of tea leaves and flowers that, when poured with hot water, slowly opens, revealing an intricately composed bouquet inside. This extraordinary type of tea, known as flowering tea, combines the pleasure of drinking with a visual experience – the moment of blooming captivates attention and creates an unforgettable impression. During the brewing process, the white bud, whose leaves seem to dance in the water, slowly unfolds, revealing a magnificent pink flower at the center of the composition. Watching the entire process is a joy, so this tea is best brewed in a transparent jug.

Flower Lychee Balls are made from delicate white tea leaves—usually Bai Hao Yin Zhen or other young buds—hand-picked in China's Fujian and Yunnan provinces. Rolling this tea is a true art—each ball is hand-formed by experienced artisans who meticulously arrange the leaves around dried flowers like jasmine, marigold, amaranth, or lily.

The process of creating this type of tea dates back to the Tang or Song dynasties – some sources mention early forms of flowering infusions as early as the 10th century, although the modern version of flowering teas only gained popularity in the 20th century, primarily as a gift or a spectacular accompaniment to a tasting. In China, this type of tea is often given as a symbol of good wishes – the blooming flower is said to symbolize growth, beauty, and prosperity.

Taste and aroma

The Flower Lychee Ball infusion has a light, straw-gold color and a delicate, slightly floral aroma. This version features a subtle note of lychee – a fruit with a sweet-and-sour profile, often associated with exotic freshness. The base tea itself – white tea – brings a soft, herbal background with a subtle sweetness. The overall effect is neither overly intense nor overly aromatic – it's a composition designed to stimulate the senses, not overwhelm them.

Properties

Thanks to the base of Flower Lychee Ball, which is made from young white tea leaves, the infusion has a mildly stimulating effect without causing irritability or insomnia. The tea contains natural antioxidants and polyphenols, which support the body's fight against free radicals, slowing down cell aging and boosting immunity. These compounds can also positively impact the health of blood vessels and regulate blood sugar levels. The flowers included in the composition, such as jasmine and lily, not only lend the infusion a subtle aroma but also enhance its relaxing effects and promote well-being.

For whom?

This tea will appeal to those who appreciate aesthetics and the ritual of brewing – it makes a great gift, but also a perfect addition to a get-together with friends or family. It's also recommended for customers in tea shops and premium restaurants, where a "wow" factor and unique offerings are key. Flower Lychee Ball is also a great option for those just starting their white tea adventure – its delicate flavor and beautiful appearance make it a perfect introduction to the world of high-quality infusions.

How to brew Flower Lychee Ball tea?

To fully appreciate the tea's visual appeal, it's best to brew it in a glass jug. The recommended water temperature is approximately 80°C. Pour 400–500 ml of water over one tea ball and watch it develop for a few minutes. A single tea ball can be steeped several times, revealing new nuances of flavor each time.

Why is it worth having it on offer?

Flower Lychee Ball is a product that tells a story in itself – it represents aesthetics, tradition, and high quality. This type of tea stands out from the standard offerings and attracts the attention of customers looking for more than just "just another tea."
