Thank you to Cameron for this sample!

I don’t know what osmanthus tastes like, but this tea (which I steeped hot) is giving me vibes of iced tea (not southern sweet tea, but more black tea steeped with a hint of sweet and lemon). There’s a definite sweetness, but it’s soft. There’s hints of lemon as though I squeezed some in fresh along with subtle floral notes. There’s also an almost tropical-esque vibe. This tea is a bit difficult to describe, but complex and ultimately delightful! I would consider ordering this one.

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 2 min, 30 sec 3 g 10 OZ / 295 ML

I might describe osmanthus as just a little stronger and weightier than jasmine. (Other opinions may vary :)

To me, osmanthus tastes fruity and nectarous with sweet honey notes. So glad you enjoyed it!

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
