A surprising little novelty has been added to our selection of naturally scented teas: the Osmanthus black tea. Produced in Southern China without any chemicals, this beautiful black tea full of sweetness was married to the small aromatic and orange flowers of osmanthus, a plant recognized in Chinese medicine as having virtues relating to the health of the skin and lungs. When infused, this tea offers an amber liquor, sweet and aromatic, with notes of honey, dried apricot and fresh date. The aromatization is so subtle, that you almost forget that flowers were involved in the process. A great discovery!
