Osmanthus Oolong

Thai Osmanthus Scented Oolong Tea

Osmanthus oolong is a sweet, gentle and uplifting oolong blend that we've been really enjoying. Freshly blended during the harvest of osmanthus flowers in Northern Thailand (October of this year) - it's as fresh as it gets.

If you've never tried osmanthus flower before, we highly recommend it! Often featured in Cantonese desserts, like osmanthus jelly, we grew up enjoying the tantalizing, sweet aroma and taste in Hong Kong restaurants and dessert shops. Brew it hot and add ice to really accentuate the sweet osmanthus aroma!

Crafted in Mae Salong tea village by scenting the esteemed #17 oolong cultivar with locally grown osmanthus, it's heavenly. A wonderful alternative to the classic jasmine tea.
