BLOOM Tea Set - Glass Infusion Mug & 50g Pure Hibiscus Herbal Infusion

The Bloom Infusion Set is Chayam's most elegant everyday hibiscus tea kit — a 400ml borosilicate glass infusion mug paired with a 50g tin of Pure Hibiscus loose leaf herbal infusion. The mug has a built-in infuser basket, so you steep the hibiscus directly inside it, watch it bloom into a deep ruby red, and drink from the same vessel. No separate teapot, no strainer, no mess. It is designed for people who want a genuinely beautiful, fuss-free hibiscus tea ritual at home or on a desk.

Hibiscus is one of the most well-researched herbal infusions for cardiovascular and skin health. Its deep red colour comes from anthocyanins — powerful antioxidants associated with reduced blood pressure, improved cholesterol levels, and protection against oxidative stress. It is exceptionally rich in vitamin C, which supports immunity, collagen production, and skin clarity. Regular hibiscus consumption is also linked to improved liver health, reduced inflammation, and mild diuretic effects that reduce water retention. Completely caffeine-free, it can be drunk at any time of day — morning, afternoon, or evening — without affecting sleep.

Tart, fruity, and deeply refreshing — hibiscus has a naturally cranberry-like character with a bright, cleansing edge. It is one of the most vivid-tasting herbal infusions available, which is part of why it works so well hot and iced. A small amount of honey rounds out the tartness into something more floral and balanced. Over ice with a squeeze of lemon it becomes a genuinely spectacular summer drink. The glass mug in this set makes the experience even better — you can watch the deep ruby colour bloom through the water in real time as it steeps.

Add one heaped teaspoon (approximately 2g) of dried hibiscus petals into the infuser basket. Pour 350–375ml of water heated to 90–95°C directly over the basket. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes — the longer you steep, the deeper the colour and the more intense the flavour. Remove the infuser basket when steeping is complete. The 400ml borosilicate glass is heat-resistant and safe for direct hot water. For iced hibiscus tea, brew double strength (4g of hibiscus in 200ml of water), steep for 5 minutes, remove the basket, then pour directly over ice in the same mug.

Yes — the mug is made from borosilicate glass, the same material used in laboratory glassware and premium kitchenware worldwide. It is heat-resistant and will not crack or shatter from sudden temperature changes between cold and boiling-hot water. It is completely BPA-free and flavour-neutral — unlike plastic or metal vessels, borosilicate glass does not impart any taste to your tea or absorb flavours from previous brews. It is microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe, making it genuinely practical for daily use rather than just occasional display.

Yes on both counts, and this is where hibiscus stands out among herbal teas. The vitamin C and anthocyanin content supports collagen synthesis — the protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity — and protects skin cells from oxidative damage, a primary cause of premature ageing. For blood pressure, multiple clinical studies have found that regular hibiscus consumption produces meaningful reductions in both systolic and diastolic pressure in people with mild to moderate hypertension, through a mechanism similar to mild ACE inhibition. People already on blood pressure medication should consult their doctor before making it a daily habit, to avoid over-lowering.

It is one of Chayam's most visually striking gifts for exactly this audience. The combination of a glass mug (which makes the brewing process itself a visual experience — hibiscus blooms a vivid ruby red as it steeps) and a premium hibiscus tin creates a complete, self-contained wellness ritual rather than just a product. At ₹999 it sits at a price point that feels genuinely premium without being extravagant. It works particularly well as a birthday gift, a self-care gesture, or a health-focused corporate gift for someone who values both aesthetics and function.

The Bloom Set is specifically built around hibiscus — a single-ingredient, caffeine-free herbal infusion — and the glass mug format that makes hibiscus's visual character the centrepiece of the ritual. If you're drawn to the glass mug format but want a different tea, Chayam also offers the Dream Infusion Set (chamomile), the Peach Perfect Set (mango peach green tea), and the Nectar and Sapphire Sets (butterfly pea, which colour-changes from blue to purple when you add lemon). Each set pairs the same borosilicate glass mug with a different premium loose leaf infusion, so the choice comes down to the tea character rather than the format.
