Flowers are the earth's way of laughing and we are delighted to present these all-naturally grown and handmade crafts. Flower teas are typically made from the tender buds and first two leaves of the tea plant; they are often made with white or green tea varieties, which have long, soft buds. The leaves are processed into tea, then moistened and shaped by hand. Using food-safe cotton string, bundles of around 20 leaves are sewn into shape, often around one or more flowers.
