Where to Buy Blooming Tea | Flowering Tea

Blooming Tea, or Flowering Tea, is an artisan tea originated from China, gained popularity among Western world during the early 2000s. It has been a global favourite since then.



Today, you can easily source for blooming tea online. However, some local tea shops do carry a small selection of blooming tea as well. I personally prefer to source for quality blooming tea online as it’s easier to purchase. I also like to check out customer reviews prior to making any order.

Not sure where to buy blooming tea? You’re in luck! Below I’ve compiled a list of my favourite blooming tea stores for your reference.

Where to Buy Blooming Tea in the US

Tea Bloom

Unlike most of the tea houses listed above, Tea Bloom is 100% focused on selling blooming tea. It’s not surprising that Tea Bloom is one of the best-sellers on Amazon for this particular niche product. They also have a wide selection of glass teapots and beautiful gift packaging for your loved ones.

In addition, if you don’t have a suitable glass container at home to appreciate the blooming process, you can also check out their vast selection of blooming tea sets as well.

Numi

Besides Tea Bloom, Numi sells premium, organic flowering teas that are handmade from community tea gardens in China. They also sell glass teapot sets as part of the flowering tea gift set. Numi is available online on multiple places such as Amazon. You can also find them at your local Whole Foods Market across the US.

After scrolling through the Amazon reviews, I learn that the blooming tea quality from Numi may not be consistent. That being said, it still has a 4.2 out of 5 stars rating among 968 reviews. I will still give it a try seeing that it’s a fair trade product. I don’t mind supporting the hardworking tea farmers!

Where to Buy Blooming Tea in KL (Malaysia)

Purple cane

Purple cane is a tea store based in Malaysia. I tried blooming tea for the very first time at Tea+, one of their tea bars located in LG of The Gardens Mall. It was a great experience.

The tea barista is very knowledgeable she shared a lot of blooming tea-making tips with me. I later compiled them and wrote in my article titled how to make blooming tea.

The blooming flower tea drink was slightly overpriced in my opinion (RM20+), but it was worth every penny. As they say, the price is what you pay, the value is what you get!

If you’re not from KL, you can also purchase blooming tea from their online tea store here.

  2. Hello,
    Just wanted to say what a delightful site, and what an amazingly beautiful and elegant beverage the blooming tea is. The skill is astounding. Does the tea have any health properties or is it just a visual display?
    Do you plan to market the tea in the US? I went to your link to the tea merchant but unfortunately I can’t read Chinese.
    Thank you
