Display teas are a sublime treat for all your senses. They are enjoyed for the beautiful show they perform for you as they steep, and their exquisite aroma. They are created by hand tying or sewing young tea leaves into lovely shapes, such as flowers, pyramids or lichee nuts. They become even more enthralling as the leaves unfurl during steeping create a completely different shape.

These teas are best enjoyed in a see-through cup or teapot. Or try them in a wineglass, where the wonderful aromas are concentrated, and the drama of their unfurling is raised to eye-level. They make a wonderful substitute for wine during a meal, if you want to avoid alcohol.

The teas are generally mild and take a few minutes to begin to impart their flavor to the glass, so allow sufficient steeping time.É Leave the leaves in your glass while you drink (they won't go into your mouth because they are tied together) for a wondrous sensory experience.
