Product Overview
Osmanthus Green Tea, produced in Guilin, Guangxi province, is crafted by scenting high-quality green tea with fresh osmanthus flowers. The green tea used as the base is sourced from Guilin’s mountainous tea gardens, where the mild climate and fertile soil contribute to the tea’s fresh and mellow character. The osmanthus flowers, also grown in Guilin, are carefully selected at peak bloom to ensure their rich fragrance.
The production process begins with tender tea leaves undergoing withering, fixation, rolling, and drying to create the base tea. Freshly picked osmanthus flowers are then layered with the tea for multiple rounds of scenting, allowing the leaves to fully absorb the natural floral fragrance.
The flavor profile of Osmanthus Green Tea is a harmonious blend of the refreshing and mellow taste of green tea with the sweet, honeyed fragrance of osmanthus. The tea liquor is a bright yellow-green, offering a delicate floral-fruity aroma, a smooth and slightly sweet taste, and a lingering aftertaste. It is an excellent choice for those who enjoy light and fragrant teas.
Brewing Guide: To brew Osmanthus Green Tea, use fresh, pure water heated to 75-85°C (167-185°F). Add about one teaspoon of tea leaves per 150-200ml of water. Steep for 2-3 minutes, adjusting the time based on personal preference. This tea can be infused multiple times, with slightly longer steeping times for subsequent infusions. Using a glass teapot or cup allows you to fully appreciate the clarity of the tea liquor and the gentle unfurling of the leaves.
