"Good Things Come in A Pair" blooming tea, which is what its Chinese name means, is each handmade by skilled Chinese artisans using high grade Yin Zhen  tea leaves, Marigold and Globe Amaranth flowers. The gold-ingot shaped like leaf, which is tightly wound with strings, opens up as it meets the hot water of your cup. The basket uncurls to reveal a pair of golden Marigold flowers with red round Amaranth Flowers emerging at the top. This tea is really a sumptuous feast for your tongue, nose and eyes!

Brewing Guide Instruction Method: Use only one piece for each cup. Ideal water temperature is between 70°C (158°F) to 80°C (176°F). For the first and second brewing, leaves should be steeped for about 3 to5  minutes. Gradually increase water temperature and steeping time for subsequent brewing. It is recommended that you use a decent size clear glass or teaport for this tea so that there is enough room for the flower to blossom and that you can have a good view of the beautiful display. Warm the glass by rinsing it with hot water prior to brewing. Good for multiple infusions until taste runs out.
