Details Introduction
Osmanthus Black Tea
Osmanthus Black Tea is a reprocessed tea made by blending and scenting black tea with osmanthus flowers. The black tea typically uses high-quality varieties such as Keemun Black Tea or Lapsang Souchong, while the osmanthus flowers are selected from fragrant varieties like Golden Osmanthus (Jin Gui) and Silver Osmanthus (Yin Gui).
Production Process
● Flower Selection: Fresh, clean, and highly fragrant osmanthus flowers are picked, preferably in the early morning during peak bloom when their aroma is strongest.
● Tea Preparation: The black tea is lightly re-fired to enhance its ability to absorb the osmanthus fragrance.
● Scenting Process: The osmanthus flowers and black tea are layered in a container at a specific ratio, allowing the tea to fully absorb the floral aroma. This process may take several hours to a day,
depending on conditions.
● Aeration & Cooling: During scenting, the temperature is monitored and controlled to prevent overheating, which could degrade the quality of both the tea and flowers.
● Flower Removal: Once the tea has absorbed sufficient fragrance, the osmanthus flowers are sifted out to avoid over-infusion, which could affect the tea’s taste.
● Final Drying: The scented tea undergoes a final drying to stabilize its quality and further integrate the floral aroma.
Flavor Profile

Health Benefits
● Warms the Stomach & Dispels Cold: Both black tea (warming in nature) and osmanthus help improve circulation and relieve internal cold, making it ideal for chilly weather.
● Boosts Mental Alertness: The caffeine in tea stimulates the central nervous system, enhancing focus and productivity.
● Promotes Skin Health: Osmanthus contains antioxidants and vitamins that combat free radicals, slowing aging and improving complexion.

Selection Guide
● Appearance: High-quality Osmanthus Black Tea should have tight, uniform tea strands with a dark, glossy hue, evenly distributed osmanthus petals, and no impurities.
● Aroma: The dry leaves should emit a pure, intense osmanthus fragrance blended with the sweet scent of black tea. When brewed, the aroma should be long-lasting and harmonious.
● Liquor Color: The brewed tea should be bright, clear, and reddish-amber—avoid dull or murky tones.
● Taste: The flavor should be smooth, sweet, and full-bodied, with a lingering sweetness and no bitterness or off-flavors.
