You can buy it in Ukraine only in specialized tea shops, which include "Mi Chai", which is engaged in direct deliveries of Chinese varieties of tea from China.

If you see charming tea balls, hearts, oblong shapes similar to beans and so on, you should know that this is a Chinese bound tea created using a special technology. As a rule, original forms representing tight buds in balls are created on the basis of bound dry tea leaves and dried flowers:

• hibiscus,
• jasmine,
• rose,
• camellia,
• calendula,
• St. John's wort,
• carnation,
• lilies,
• peonies...

The bundle is made by silk or cotton threads. In most cases, green tea varieties are used, less often – red, white, black, collected in the rainy season. The flower (s) is placed in the middle of a fancy composition. Artfully bound with tea leaves, and then dried in special furnaces at a temperature of 110°C. Production is carried out exclusively by hand. Masters own their own secrets of production, collecting tea leaves and flowers in harmonious compositions. Each Bud is not created according to a template, and therefore the taste, aroma, and appearance of the blooming flower is unique. It never repeats! Think about buying it if you don't know what, for example, to surprise guests at a Saturday night party. Spectacular tea ceremony is able to delight even the skeptics.

Tea ware demonstrates a unique process: before Your eyes, a tight shape turns into a bouquet with a flower (flowers) of different shapes and colors. In fact-very beautiful, refined, colorful! It is very interesting to observe how the volume of the teapot fills a bouquet with a bright flower that has just appeared out of nowhere. This ceremony is truly considered magical. An extraordinary flower blooms, as if under the influence of light magic, starting to exude a fragrant floral aroma with hints of mountain herbs.

As for the taste and aroma, it all depends on the combination of varietal tea and flowers. Of course, whatever flower is present, this fragrance prevails.
