A Little Piece of Spring
From delicate Peach Blossom Tea to personalised floral blends and creative kitchen rituals, these beautiful blossoms bring the character of spring into your botanical collection.
The Story Behind the Blossom
Peach blossoms are among the first signs of spring, appearing as delicate pink flowers along otherwise bare branches before the tree begins to produce its familiar fruit.
For centuries, these beautiful blossoms have been admired in gardens, art and seasonal traditions, particularly across East Asia. Once carefully dried, the petals retain their soft pink tones, delicate form and graceful botanical character.
Peach Blossoms can be explored in botanical infusions or combined with other flowers and herbs to create colourful loose-leaf blends. Their delicate appearance also makes them a beautiful addition to creative and decorative botanical preparations.
At Flowers from my Meadow, we love botanicals that capture a fleeting moment in nature. Our dried Peach Blossoms are carefully selected and packed to preserve their natural colour, texture and character — bringing a little of spring’s beauty into teas, blends and everyday botanical rituals.

How to Brew Peach Blossom Tea
Peach Blossoms create a delicate floral infusion with a light botanical character. A simple covered steep allows the dried blossoms to gently infuse into the water.
From dried blossom to delicate infusion — a simple ritual that captures the gentle floral character of Peach Blossoms.
Measure the Blossoms
Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Peach Blossoms per cup to your teapot, infuser or tea filter.
Add Hot Water
Pour over freshly boiled water, ensuring the blossoms are well immersed.
Cover & Steep
Cover and allow to steep for 5–10 minutes. A shorter infusion will produce a lighter cup, while a longer steep develops a fuller botanical character.

Strain the blossoms before serving and enjoy the infusion warm.
