Bloom Tender + Freed from the Real + Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy

Overview
If you control Bloom Tender, Kinnan, and Freed from the Real attached to Bloom Tender (and you control Freed), you can repeatedly activate Bloom Tender’s {T} mana ability, have Kinnan add an extra mana, pay Freed’s {U} to untap Bloom Tender, and repeat — generating a net gain of mana each loop equal to the number of colors Bloom Tender produces; note that tapping the creature via Freed’s tap ability does not count as “tapping a permanent for mana” [Ruling [2020-04-17]] and triggered mana abilities (like Kinnan’s) resolve immediately after the mana ability that triggered them .
Step 1
Begin with Bloom Tender untapped, Kinnan on the battlefield under your control, and Freed from the Real attached to Bloom Tender with you as Freed’s controller , Ruling [2018-03-16].
Step 2
Activate Bloom Tender’s mana ability: pay its {T} cost by tapping Bloom Tender; Bloom Tender produces one mana of each color among permanents you control.
Step 3
Because you (the same player) tapped a nonland permanent for mana by activating its {T} ability, Kinnan’s triggered ability triggers and, as a triggered mana ability, resolves immediately after the mana ability that triggered it, adding one additional mana of any type Bloom Tender produced , Ruling [2020-04-17].
Step 4
Use one of the blue mana produced (Bloom Tender must have produced blue among its outputs this activation) to pay Freed’s untap ability cost {U}; only Freed’s controller can activate Freed’s ability , Ruling [2018-03-16].
Step 5
Freed’s untap ability resolves and untaps Bloom Tender. You still have the remaining mana from Bloom Tender + Kinnan in your mana pool.
Step 6
Repeat: activate Bloom Tender’s {T} again, get its mana, get Kinnan’s immediate extra mana, pay Freed {U} to untap, and so on. Each full cycle nets you N mana, where N is the number of colors Bloom Tender produced that activation.
Resolution
With Bloom Tender enchanted by Freed from the Real where you control Bloom Tender, Kinnan, and Freed, do this loop: activate Bloom Tender’s {T} ability (you tap it and it produces one mana of each color among permanents you control); Kinnan’s triggered mana ability adds one additional mana of a type Bloom Tender produced (it resolves immediately) ; then pay {U} to activate Freed’s untap ability (only Freed’s controller can activate Freed’s abilities , Ruling [2018-03-16]) to untap Bloom Tender and repeat. Each iteration nets you N mana, where N is the number of different colors Bloom Tender produced that activation, provided at least one of those mana is blue so you can pay Freed’s {U}. Tapping Bloom Tender via Freed’s tap ability does not trigger Kinnan because that is not “tapping a permanent for mana” [Ruling [2020-04-17]].
