What's Better Than Meditation? Watching Tea Slowly Bloom Into a Flower

Have you ever watched blooming tea unfold before your very eyes? Food52 shared a video of its blooming teas slowly unraveling to reveal a colorful blossom, all made from tea leaves and flowers like jasmine, rose, and carnation. It's surprisingly calming to watch a green ball magically change shapes when plopped into hot water. I could watch it all day. If you're inspired to try it out firsthand, Food52's shop sells Medley + Noir Blooming Teas (Set of 12) ($28) so you can dazzle yourself at least a dozen times.
