Osmanthus Oolong – Award-Winning Tea
Osmanthus Oolong – Award-Winning Tea
Osmanthus Oolong is a traditional floral oolong tea crafted by blending high-quality Chinese oolong with fresh osmanthus blossoms (桂花). Through a gentle scenting process, the tea absorbs the flower’s natural sweetness and golden aroma. The resulting cup is bright, fragrant, and silky, with a smooth balance between the floral warmth of osmanthus and the mellow body of oolong tea.

Oolong leaves are traditionally scented with osmanthus blossoms so the tea naturally absorbs their sweet, fruity fragrance. This creates a harmony of aroma and taste without artificial additives.
