Flower Tea Balls
“Watching one of these exquisite tea balls slowly unfurl to reveal its hidden heart of flowers is almost as much of a treat as drinking the delicately flavoured tea. Handmade in China, the purported benefits of each ball make choice difficult. A combination of green tea and jasmine is named after a fairy maiden who gave up everything to find true love, and the jasmine helps calm the nerves and sooth emotional problems. For those seeking financial success, meanwhile, the green tea, jasmine and chrysanthemum variety’s name is translated as “whole room of gold and jade”. So drink this tea in good conscience, knowing that what looks beautiful is also healthy. For stockists and cafes or restaurants where the tea is served, visit www.theshanghaiteacompany.com.au.”

"The Quality of the tea landing on our shores keeps getting better. The Shanghai Tea Company has a new selection that includes Long Jing and Mao Feng green tea, an exquisite Yin Zhen white tea and four new herbal teas - whole leaf peppermint, lemon slice, lemongrass and chamomile. The Long Jing tea is stir-fried to maximise its delicate flavour. The Mao Feng tea is a "first flush" tea, picked on select days in spring. And the downy, silvery buds of the white (or silver needle) tea are gently roasted. They're beautifully packaged - ideal as gifts - and, more importantly, quality is exceptional."

Tea You Can See
Summer drinking isn’t, of course, solely concerned with alcohol. Those into the school of thought that the best way to cool down is with a hot drink will be well served by Melbourne’s Shanghai Tea Company’s wares. We love this pretty little glass teapot and the tea balls aren’t half bad either. For stockists, visit www.shanghaiteacompany.com.au

“The exquisite beauty of these tea balls as they unfurl and “bloom” in the pot is almost enough, but their delicate flavour completes a near-to heavenly experience. Handmade and imported from China by The Shanghai Tea Company, each one has been given the name of a Chinese Emperor and a folktale to accompany it. The stunning green tea, jasmine, chrysanthemum and globe amaranth combination means “two dragons playing pearl” and signifies joy. The jasmine smooths blood circulation, the glove amaranth aids liver function, while the chrysanthemum is calming. The pretty glass tea pot has a simple metal coil that strains the flowers without damaging them and each tea ball can be refreshed a few times”

In Good Company
“Give your liver a break from the constant party/hangover cycle with something from The Shanghai Tea Company. Once submerged in hot water, each green tea ball unfurls to reveal a delightful flower. More fun than instant coffee.” |
