MISSION, Kan.-- For all special occasions -- Mother's Day, weddings, anniversaries, etc. -- RariTeas blooming white teas are dazzling; watch them bloom at http://www.RariTeas.com. Handcrafted tea bulbs that open to reveal real blooming flowers while the tea steeps, RariTeas blooming teas are made in China by skilled artisans who hand-sew white tea leaves around perfectly dried flower blossoms. They produce a delicately aromatic, flavorful cup of tea that is beautiful to look at, warm and soothing to the touch, healthy for the body (white tea having more antioxidants than green or black tea), and a meaningful gift from the heart.

In addition to being a treat for all the senses, RariTeas blooming teas also convey a heartfelt personal message. Fourteen different bulbs are available, each with its own flower, including jasmine, lilies, and marigold, and its own uplifting theme, such as Honesty, Serenity, Loyalty, and Generosity. The chosen theme personalizes the gift, adds to its special significance, and heightens the heart connection between giver and recipient.

An immediate hit with brides and event planners, RariTeas blooming white teas have also become a popular gift for troops serving in the Middle East. "I hadn't expected the incredibly broad and diverse customer base we have, from brides to soldiers, and their passionate interest in our teas," says RariTeas founder Martha Humphreys. "I think people find the teas to be symbols of their heartfelt sentiments. As my mother says, 'It's not the lover's gift that counts so much as the giver's love.'"

An entrepreneur looking for a way to give back, Humphreys was inspired to donate a percentage of all RariTeas profits to the Navy-Marine Corp Relief Society, a 103-year-old non-profit assisting the troops and their families. "I'm thrilled to have found a product that brings comfort and a feeling of closeness to those far away and terribly missed," she says.

Blooming white teas also offer all the superior health benefits of white tea, which is not heavily processed like green and black teas, but simply picked and air-dried. Studies show that white tea has the highest concentration of antioxidants among all teas and thereby helps decrease LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

As a result, white tea is fast becoming a focus of national medical research in the U.S. RariTeas blooming white teas can be purchased online at http://www.RariTeas.com. A package of six bulbs in your choice of flowers and themes is available for $12.50. RariTeas is the only company to focus exclusively on white-tea-based blooming teas. They also offer a large selection of unusual teaware (teapots, tea cups, and warmers) for those who enjoy unique tea presentation accessories, for everyday use or modern-day tea ceremonies. Gift sets of teaware and bulbs range from $35.00 to $70.00.
