Formosa Osmanthus Guihua Oolong

Oolong Tea by thepuriTea

This tea uses the best golden osmanthus to blend with top grade oolong. This oolong tea has absorbed all the fragrances from the osmanthus flower, which produces a superb floral fragrance and smooth taste. The osmanthus used are grown between high cliffs and has a rich and long lasting fragrance. These osmanthus flowers are from evergreen trees in Guilin.

Very nice light oolong with a great Osmanthus aroma and flavor. Not bitter at all and very forgiving for over steeping. It has a light to golden color depending on how long you steep. There are whole flowers mixed in with the oolong tea to give a nice color contrast in the leaves. First you get a light fruty/ vegetal followed by the Osmanthus. Very clean on the palette and does not linger too long. After the flowers there is a slight hint of nuts and then everything fades nicely. Tis would be a great tea to drink as a palette cleanser in between courses or after a meal. I do not see this on their site any longer but if you can come across it it is a keeper.
