Chinese Tea Flowers

From the heart of this plait of premium China Green, a sudden shower of tiny white petals heralds the entrance of an exotic red lily.

This truly Grand Opening occurs when steeped in 800 mls of just-boiled water for five minutes.

It is best seen in a in a vessel of heat-proof glass and may be enjoyed again and again by adding 500mls of hot water twice more.

A contemplative prelude to a splendid
after-dinner tea.
