(It's also an acute medical condition but we won't get into that here). Basically once you try pouring boiling water over one of these firework shaped pods you'll quickly see why the name Delirium Blossom is really the only one that fits. As the water hits the tea the pod comes alive. The leaves begin to moisten and water slowly seeps into the deepest reaches of the pod like a growing sense of excitement and ecstasy taking over the human mind. Next the inner spirit of the pod bursts apart unleashing an incomparable world of color and flavor rarely seen in the world of tea. Seriously this is one artisanal creation that begs the question: How did they do that?Well we'll start by saying that this tea is about as far away from a supermarket tea bag as you can possibly get. The pod starts its life as a handful of Amaranth Marigold and Osmanthus blossoms and some very tippy tea leaves from the highlands of Yunnan. Quality is paramount - not just any flowers and tea will do. The artisan chooses his ingredients both for flavor profile and texture but also for color and impression. The blooms must be the brightest and fullest. The tea must be harvested meticulously and processed masterfully. Mid-way through the processing stage when the leaves are still damp the blossoms are tied by hand woven into the tea and pressed into their unique forms. The tea dries and all the colors and flavors are concealed just waiting to reappear in a burst of frantic tea energy. Unleash the delirious power of one of China's most unique offerings. Delight in the visual spectacle! Revel in the bright floral notes and astringent finish! Oh Delirium Blossom! A superb tea that will leave you breathless!\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 ft. 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 Amaranth marigold blossoms Osmanthus petals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e The design is delirious the green tea exquisite and the flowers extreme - how do they do it?!
