Gui Hua Osmanthus Oolong – Osmanthus-Scented Taiwanese Oolong"Gui Hua, " or osmanthus, is an enchanting aromatic tree that blooms several times a year in China. Its tiny golden-yellow flowers carry a lovely apricot-peach floral fragrance, and they've been used for centuries to scent fine teas. Our Gui Hua Osmanthus Oolong pairs these fragrant blossoms with a high-quality Taiwanese oolong. It's prepared using the traditional scenting method: osmanthus flowers are layered with the tea leaves so they absorb the flowers' complementary fragrance. The result is a sweet, fresh and peachy tea that's a traditional treat you won't soon forget. Tasting Notes
