Amber Osmanthus (tin)
- Oolong tea
- Osmanthus flowers
This tea is made from 100% natural ingredients.
Guangdong, China
Water Temperature: 185°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 heaping tablespoon per 16 oz
Steep Time: 3-4 minutes
General Guide:
- Add tea leaves to a teapot, fill-your-own tea bag or infuser basket.
- Use 1 to 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of leaves per cup (8 oz) of water. Adjust to taste.
- Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil, allow it to cool slightly, then pour water over tea leaves and cover.
- Infuse (steep) leaves 2-5 minutes; 3½ minutes is a good average that works well for most tea types. Do not oversteep or tea may become bitter. If you prefer strong tea, simply use more leaves.
- Remove bag or infuser from water or strain leaves. Enjoy!
Water Quality: Tea is only as good as the water used to prepare it. Avoid distilled or unfiltered tap water, which can limit tea’s flavor. Bottled spring water or filtered tap water is ideal.
Water Temperature: Most teas taste best when prepared with water around 195˚F (just below boiling); however, some teas require a lower temperature or they may become bitter.
Eastern Brewing Method: High-quality oolongs and certain specialty teas may be enhanced by the Gongfu (Eastern) brewing method, which uses a higher leaf-to-water ratio and multiple, short infusion times to bring out the subtle nuances and full flavor spectrum. Fill a warmed porcelain gaiwan or miniature (4-10 oz) teapot 20% full with tea leaves. Add 195°F water. Steep the first infusion for 30-90 seconds and decant. Repeat for another 3-5 infusions.

Delicious osmanthus flavorThis is a delicious osmanthus oolong: smooth and floral with the characteristic slight fruitiness that the flowers bring. I haven't seen osmanthus in any teas since I visited Hong Kong many years ago. Delighted to find a source! I will definitely order more.

Amazing and unique!This is one of my all time favorite teas. The floral flavor is amazing - lighter and not as heavy as jasmine. This tea is perfection - smooth with dark notes and light floral hints.
