From Simpson & Vail

Osmanthus tea is a scented tea that is processed in a similar fashion as jasmine teas. Comprised of high-quality black tea and osmanthus flowers, this tea brews to an amber cup with a smooth, sweet taste and floral and fruity (apricot) notes.

The process begins in mid-Spring with the picking and processing of fine black tea. The tea is stored until late Summer-early Autumn when the osmanthus flowers are picked. The osmanthus flowers are plucked in the early morning before the flowers open and disperse their heavenly essential oils.

Once picked, the osmanthus flowers are blended with the black tea. After the flowers have released all their aroma, they are removed and fresh flowers are added to the tea to be infused a second time. This process is repeated several times until the sweet osmanthus flavor is completely infused in the tea leaves.

Backlog and Sip Down

This wasn’t my favorite offerings from the S&V tea clubs, which is fine, on account they’re not all expected to be the best. This was an odd tea in the way of it being very sweet on the initial sip and then immediately hitting with a malty-osmanthus aftertaste. Unfortunately, that’s all I wrote on the packet.
