I enjoyed how sweet the chrysanthemum version of this tea was and thought I would try out this one, but at this point I have to admit I just don’t care for osmanthus. It’s sweet, yes, but with a savory flavor that I always find off-putting in tea. Note to self to try the plain “Drunk on Red” without the flowers; the black tea base here is robust enough to be noticeable but definitely plays second fiddle to the osmanthus. The leaves are pretty and striking in appearance, very dark against bright yellow flowers, so this would make a nice gift for someone who likes flower teas.
Flavors: Honey, Malt, Meat, Peach
