Is that tea named after its key ingredient? Is the key ingredient's alternate name, the crucial keyword ? Is the last image a major clue as well?

Answer to puzzle # 4986 Sky Lantern, also known as Kongming lantern

A sky lantern, also known as Kongming lantern or Chinese lantern, is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom where a small fire is suspended.
In Asia and elsewhere around the world, sky lanterns have been traditionally made for centuries, to be launched for play or as part of long-established festivities.. Sky lanterns have also been referred to as sky candles or fire balloons; the latter term, however, is also used to refer to balloon munitions used during World War II.
In ancient China, sky lanterns were strategically used in wars. However, later on, non-military applications were employed as they became popular with children at festivals. These lanterns were subsequently incorporated into festivals like the Chinese Mid-Autumn and Lantern Festivals.

Gauri didn't know about the banning of these lanterns until I searched on your clue.

Keywords - balloon, lantern,hot or sun

 

Oh! Went barking up the wrong tree. I came to the conclusion that the answer was 'helium', a gas used to fill balloons, helium in the sun, helium lamps, "back with a bang" reference to the big bang and helium; Nantucket one of the places to ban helium .....

 

uh oh ... I thought last image was giveaway. I understand there could be multiple interpretations of images
