Top-grade high-mountain oolong tea from Fujian Province delicately scented with rare osmanthus flowers, our Osmanthus Oolong is ideal for tea lovers that prefer a fresh, green oolong quality and refined, floral balance to the brew. Gui Hua (pronounced “gway hwah”) is the Chinese name for the fragrant osmanthus flower, which blossoms in the mountain area in Guangxi Province during tea season and is used for scenting this oolong. In the final stages of processing, the leaves are baked with fresh osmanthus blossoms, “heat-infusing” the tea with the flower’s fragrant aroma. Our Osmanthus Oolong is a very consistent tea, and maintains a sweet and pointed floral flavor across a very wide range of water temperatures. Whole osmanthus buds impart sugar cane sweetness to the liquor, while the base tea recalls verdant and nasal gardenia. The dulcet flavors and forgiving steep are qualities that allow us to strongly recommend to both seasoned tea veterans and newcomers to the world of high quality tea.
