CAMELLIA BLOSSOM TEA
Camellia Blossom Tea is the only true flower tea as it is handcrafted from camellia blossoms, the flowers produced by the tea plant Camellia sinensis.
These blossoms produce one of the healthiest teas in the world, a flower tea that is the closest herbal tea to actual tea. Camellia blossoms are well known for their high polyphenolic content, providing anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, antibacterial, antiangiogenic, antioxidative, antiviral, neuroprotective and cholesterol-lowering effects. The saponins in camellia blossoms are traditionally used for their immunotoxin affects.

Most tea growers do not bother harvesting and crafting tea flowers since it requires a great deal of patience and time. Also, tea plantations do not have bushes that grow tall enough to produce tea flowers as flowering is prevented during cultivation by harvesting the leaves, forcing the plant to constantly make more leaf buds. Consequently the tea leaf, rather than the tea flower, is the most famous part from the tea plant, however, several cultures have a history of using camellia blossoms as food or drink.

An infusion of tea flowers is unlike the taste of any tea. Camellia Blossom Tea is pale yellow with a mellow, fruity taste and subtle sweetness. It is delicious on its own or ideal for blending with other green or white teas, or herbs. A perfect refresher at any time of the day-hot or iced.
Camellia blossoms are an ideal alternative to tea leaves for caffeine sensitive tea lovers as they contain only very low traces of caffeine (one half of one percent by weight). Bryn Hill is the only farm in Australia producing the rare Camellia Blossom Tea, sustainably grown on our tea plantation in Tropical North Queensland.
The blossoms are produced by our tea plants for a short time each year, just before the plants go into hibernation for the winter. During flowering, the blossoms are gently hand picked, lightly dried then carefully packaged to ensure only the highest quality herbal tea experience.
