Osmanthus Black Tea










Osmanthus Black Tea
A unique bouquet of fruits, flowers, and tropical notes with a sweet honey nectar in smooth black tea
About this tea
Osmanthus flowers are sweet and floral with heady notes of peach, apricot, nectarine and honey. The fruity scented flowers blend magically with our mellow and smooth Yunnan Dian Hong to create a nectar-like black tea. Osmanthus flowers have been used in Chinese cuisine and folk recipes for centuries and are a celebratory Autumnal ingredient commonly used in seasonal mooncakes, liquors and cleansing tea formulas. Once a year, during early Autumn, Osmanthus flowers are harvested and blended with our tea. After a month of bulk curing, we pack and release the tea blend to celebrate the Autumn moon and the changing of the season. The natural sweetness and fruity aftertaste of this blend is one of a kind.

Origin
Wa Shan
Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province, China
Wa Shan Ecological Tea Garden sits in Lincang, on the border with Myanmar (Burma) in southwestern Yunnan. Surrounded by a lush and biodiverse mountainous region, this certified organic tea farm is one we have been working with since 2013. Wa Shan is a famous tea mountain since ancient times named after the Wa ethnic minority who have farmed tea in this region for more than a thousand years.
