Osmanthus meets black tea
Selected osmanthus is paired with Wuyi black tea, bringing floral fragrance together with the body of black tea.
From the Wuyi Mountains
The tea comes from the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian. Its picking standard is one bud and two leaves.
A fragrant, rounded cup
Look for tightly twisted, dark leaves and a clear orange-amber liquor. The cup is smooth and full, with rich osmanthus fragrance and a lingering sweet finish.
A starting point for the gaiwan
Warm the gaiwan and add about 4g of tea. Use water around 95°C. Start with 3–5 seconds for the first three infusions, then about 5–10 seconds; adjust to taste and keep each infusion within about 15 seconds.
A 50g tin for your tea shelf

Mug brewing and keeping the aroma
For a mug, start with about 3g of tea, water around 90°C and a 3-minute infusion. Adjust the time to your preferred strength.
Store sealed in a cool, dry, dark place away from strong odours.
