And like everything produced in China, when we say large, we mean large on a scale the likes of which you've never seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2003, the province - which covers roughly 394 000 square kms or 4.1% of China's landmass - grew more than 3 billion flowers commercially! 3 billion! That's the equivalent of 3 stems for each of China's 1 billion citizens. Now that's a lot of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high production numbers have secured Yunnan's position as China's top flower producing region for more than 10 years straight. During those years, the province's Carnations, Forget-Me-Nots, Lilies, Osmanthus, and Jasmine flowers have accounted for 45% of China's total annual floral exports. So what makes the conditions in Yunnan so ideal for growing flowers? The answer lies in its geographical location. Yunnan sits directly below the Tropic of Cancer, the farthest northern latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead - an event that occurs once a year on the 21st of June. In short Yunnan gets a lot of direct sunlight. And as every good schoolchild knows flowers love the sun and lots of it. Couple that with an average rainfall of between 1 000 to 1 9000 mm annually, and you've got ideal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs every good tea-drinker knows, Yunnan is also famous for growing tea. So it seems only natural that given the prominence of the local floral industry, tea artisans would create a tea in its honour - 3 Flower Burst. The idea behind the tea is that as it brews, it unfolds and mimics the way the lush Yunnan countryside bursts open with colour in the springtime. The tea is produced by tying Lily, Osmanthus, and Jasmine blooms together with steamed full leaves of Yunnan green tea. As the tea dries, the flowers are held inside the way seeds are concealed in the damp earth. Drop the tea into a glass pitcher, infuse it, and watch the miraculous bloom unfold. The cup, like springtime in Yunnan, is bright with a very full green taste, layered with overtones of cut peach and undertones of jasmine and lily perfume. Makes a perfect gift for Mother's Day - an absolutely wonderful tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artisan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yunnan Province\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artisan Handcrafted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-3000 feet above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade and hand tied\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury green tea Lily Jasmine Osmanthus blossoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and satisfying green tea notes.
