Look closely and you\u2019ll find snowdrops, too \u2014 loose cones of white petals hanging down from green stems. And soon, a profusion of spring flowers: daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, apple, plum, dogwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring\u2019s pageant of bouquets always thrills us. But this season their arrival seems especially poignant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chaos enveloped us a year ago. COVID was new. People were heading to hospitals, and getting hooked up to ventilators; some didn\u2019t survive. Governments forced businesses to close. The economy was tanking. Anxiety consumed us: Would I or a family member get sick? Will my business survive? Will I lose my job?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year later, COVID has almost grown familiar. And now, just as the flowers begin emerging again, hope \u2014 just like those crocuses \u2014 is rising fast. Millions of people have already received vaccinations, and millions more are soon on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They say hope springs eternal. As small businesses owners, we agree \u2014 if nothing else, we\u2019ve gotta\u2019 have hope! This spring, however, we find ourselves especially flooded with hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today marks the beginning of Earth Week, and on April 22 we celebrate Earth Day. To honor such a wonderful confluence of human hope and Earth compassion, let\u2019s complement our days with teas that incorporate those sentinels of hope \u2014 flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month we feature our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Flower-Power-Tea-Box\/3628\">Flower Power Tea Box<\/a>, an assortment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/flower-power-tea-health\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">flower-forward teas<\/mark><\/a>, one Blooming Art tea (a wildly decorative style of tea that, when brewed, looks like a blossom), and a spring-themed animal infuser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy them all, through the Tea Box. But you also can just try them one at a time. Either way, consider marking this wonderful season with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/flower-power-tea-health\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">sippable flower power<\/mark><\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/anastasiya-romanova-QDr-0ylFK2k-unsplash-1024x816.jpg\" alt=\"Flower tea involves calendula\" class=\"wp-image-1270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/anastasiya-romanova-QDr-0ylFK2k-unsplash-1024x816.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/anastasiya-romanova-QDr-0ylFK2k-unsplash-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/anastasiya-romanova-QDr-0ylFK2k-unsplash-768x612.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/anastasiya-romanova-QDr-0ylFK2k-unsplash-1600x1276.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Calendula adds buttery, warm, floral notes to a tea blend.

Blending requires quite a bit of experimentation. Most of the experiments fail on the first attempt; only after repeated mixing of different natural ingredients do we arrive at winners. This one is a total winner.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/luiza-sayfullina-Eg05Wfy7oyQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Heather in flower tea\" class=\"wp-image-1269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/luiza-sayfullina-Eg05Wfy7oyQ-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/luiza-sayfullina-Eg05Wfy7oyQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/luiza-sayfullina-Eg05Wfy7oyQ-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/luiza-sayfullina-Eg05Wfy7oyQ-unsplash-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We love flower tea that incorporates heather, a hearty flower native to cold regions of the world. (Photo Credit: Luiza Sayfulina)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flower Tea: Lemon Blossom Oolong Tea<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Different styles of Camellia sinensis add diverse qualities to blends, including those with flowers. Green often is grassy, herbal and even floral. Black tea, as we mentioned above, is earthy and steady. Oolong is more like forest floor, often slightly funky (in a great way), with subtle notes of things like fallen leaves, tree bark and humus; oolongs offer a huge variety of flavors. Pu-erh can taste sort of the same as many oolongs, only on steroids; instead of chipmunk whispers of forest floor, pu-erh suggests bear roars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Lemon%20Blossom%20Oolong\/2851\">Lemon Blossom Oolong tea<\/a>, we combine a lightly oxidized Chinese oolong with lemon; the bright notes of the citrus balance the oolong. And then comes the flowers: heather and red cornflower blossom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both blossoms sing for us. We find heather especially fetching, however, especially given our location in northern Colorado. Heather is native to northern Europe, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands \u2014 all cold places, like the Centennial State. Now it\u2019s found worldwide, including North America. It\u2019s a beautiful flower that spreads widely, turning landscapes into vistas of flowers. In Colorado, we enjoy Pink Mountain Heather, which decorates subalpine forests across the state, as well as open meadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Lemon Blossom Oolong is another great choice for all-day sipping. We enjoy it, too, with meals. Any dish that pairs well with lemon (so many!) will work with Lemon Blossom Oolong.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/christopher-lotito-1RxrVMbPQDE-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Mums are great in flower tea.\" class=\"wp-image-1268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/christopher-lotito-1RxrVMbPQDE-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/christopher-lotito-1RxrVMbPQDE-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/christopher-lotito-1RxrVMbPQDE-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/christopher-lotito-1RxrVMbPQDE-unsplash-1600x1200.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chrysanthemums taste kind of like buttered biscuits with honey &#8211; but the flowers are good for you!

As such, it is a natural for blending with flowers, as long as the added blossoms don\u2019t clash with the tea\u2019s natural floral qualities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Chrysanthemum%20Green%20Tea%20(Organic)\/507\">Chrysanthemum Green tea<\/a>&nbsp;hits a flowery home run, combining a favorite style of Japanese green tea, sencha (we are sipping some of our sencha as we write!), with peppermint and two flowers: chrysanthemum and rose petal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rose offers a familiar aromatic and taste experience; it is one of the most versatile flowers in the world for culinary pursuits. Chrysanthemum is less widely used in the United States as an edible flower, although it\u2019s extremely common (we also know the flowers as mums) in gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have turned to chrysanthemum for generations, using the blossoms to support lung health and reduce internal inflammations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We champion its health benefits, but we adore chrysanthemum\u2019s flavor, which is sweet with an almost buttery warmth mixed with honey. In other words, it\u2019s kind of like a warm biscuit slathered with butter and dolloped with honey. Mmmm.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/kumiko-shimizu-uBOCEV5RGzY-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cherry blossoms and Mt.

The season peaked in Kyoto on March 26, making it the earliest known peak since record-taking of cherry blossoms began in 812.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to Instagram now, search #cherryblossom, and behold literally millions of beautiful photographs, and not just in Japan. Cherry blossoms today are filling Washington, DC with perfume and visual treats as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cherry blossoms, known as \u201csakura\u201d in Japanese, are central to Japanese culture. Among other things, they signify the transitory nature of life; the blossoms last for only a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of their glories is aroma, which comes from the plants\u2019 coumarin, an organic chemical with a marvelous smell. In Japan, people pour hot water over just-picked blossoms and then bring their noses close to the cups and inhale. The aroma is elegant and sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t need fresh cherry blossoms to experience their perfume (although if you happen to have a cherry tree or any other aromatic flowering tree, consider pouring hot water over a few and inhaling). Our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Sakura%20Cherry%20Green%20Tea\/486\">Sakura Cherry Green Tea<\/a>&nbsp;contains dried sakura leaves; steep this tea and you\u2019ll experience the aroma of sakura blossoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as our Chrysanthemum Green Tea rested on a foundation of sencha green tea, so does Sakura Cherry Green Tea. And then we add those precious sakura petals, along with two more flowery things: hibiscus and rosehips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination will make you swoon. And while cherry blossom season everywhere is fleeting, sipping Sakura Cherry Green Tea is year-round!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/paul-hanaoka-HqslonbcCJE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Flowering rosemary\" class=\"wp-image-1266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/paul-hanaoka-HqslonbcCJE-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/paul-hanaoka-HqslonbcCJE-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/paul-hanaoka-HqslonbcCJE-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/paul-hanaoka-HqslonbcCJE-unsplash-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We don&#8217;t often consume rosemary flowers, but we should!
