Three generations of family know-how in naturally scenting teas is blended into this offering. Our Osmanthus oolong is prepared by choosing the freshest organic flowers from the 1st and 2nd day of a new seasonal bloom. These are the most fragrant and sweet which will render our tea a beautifully balanced and delicate floral aroma with distinct fruity notes that evoke apricot. Osmanthus also renders a beautiful creaminess to the cup which further accentuates the natural creamy finish of the Jin Xuan varietal used as a base for this blend. All in all, a beautiful balance of good body and lingering presence with soothing ethereal notes. A perfect cup for dreamy afternoons. Lot 1278 is a new production made from Spring 2023 tea and scented in October during the Fall bloom of the osmanthus plantations that surround our premises.

Naturally scenting teas with fresh flowers is a very ancient tradition in China. In the same spirit, our family has been perpetuating this craft for over 3 generations now. As opposed to the more common green or white teas used for scenting, we choose to work with the already aromatic and expressive oolong and black teas that grow in our neighboring townships which are natural choices for scenting. Our flowers are also sourced locally and delivered to us just after morning picking for optimum freshness and fragrance. Then, we carefully blend in the flowers with the tea at the dawn of the day, when they are in full bloom and at the peak of their perfume. The tea and flowers are given a full night to consume their fragrant union. The morning after, flowers are then removed from the tea, one by one, before they turn sour and dull the taste. If required, the operation is repeated until the desired balance of scent and flavour is achieved. Timing and skill are of essence in obtaining the perfect blend.
