Osmanthus Pu’er
"So fragrant!" - Jeffrey C.
Osmanthus Pu’er
Sublime floral aroma, fermented honey wine, apricots, earthy core and pure nectar sweetness
About This Tea
Pu’er tea has a firm and refreshing taste with a digestive and stimulating energy. Pu’er tea is often blended with stimulating spices, citrus peels, aromatic flowers and herbs. Osmanthus flowers are one such traditional ingredient blended with Pu’er tea. They lend a heady floral aroma and sweet taste sensations of apricot and fruity honey that balances with the richness and deep taste of Shu Pu’er tea. This blend is like nectar and fermented honey wine with tea. Osmanthus flowers have been used in Chinese food and folk medicine culture for centuries and are common in mooncakes, liquors and cleansing tea formulas. During autumn, osmanthus flowers are harvested and blended with our five-year aged organic Shu Pu’er tea. The result is pure nectar sweetness, deep Pu’er tea taste and a sublime floral aroma.

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.
