The Golden Osmanthus is a type of Tie Guan Yin from the Anxi region of FuJian province, China. This tea gets its name from the natural light osmanthus fragrance from the liquor. This floral fragrnce is a result of careful crafting of the raw tea leaves, requiring the right craftsmanship, temperature, and weather condition.

The first time I had this, I really liked it. This cup, however, just seems weak, even after cooling. I used the same amount of leaf as I always do, so I don’t know what happened. What’s there is fairly vegetal with hints of florals, but none of the butteriness from before. Unfortunately I don’t have enough leaf for another cup (what’s left is destined to be “blended” in a cold brew) so I’m sad that this had to be my last experience with this sample since my first one was so good. Oh well.
I still consider myself new to the world of loose tea. A few months ago I was still buying teabag packages from supermarkets. In the past few months, I had mixed experience with loose tea. Some were very good while others were worse than the cheap teabags I was acustomed to. This Golden Osmanthus tea from DeRenTea was among the ones that set my standard for good loose tea. My tea vocabulary is few. I would say this tea has a pleasing floral note, is light, and refreshing. I had this tea hot and iced, both exceeded my expectation.
I made a cup of this tea with the sample pack I got from DeRen Tea today. I smelled the tea before I steep it and it was a little vegetal and a little floral. The tea was light golden yellow. The aroma was creamy? or buttery? or somewhere inbetween, with a hint of floral sweetness. The taste was light, clean, and a little buttery initially. I didn’t taste the floral note with the tea in my mouth. But after I swallow the tea, there was a floral aftertaste in my mouth. It was quite interesting. It was a pleasant surprise. It was… great.
