Introduction
Osmanthus Tea, one of the most renowned floral teas, has a rich history that dates back to ancient China. Originating from regions famous for their osmanthus cultivation, such as Guangxi, Hunan, and Sichuan provinces, Osmanthus Tea is celebrated for its delicate, sweet aroma and refreshing flavor. The natural geography of these regions, with their fertile soil, mild climate, and abundant rainfall, creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality osmanthus flowers. Osmanthus Tea is made by carefully selecting and drying osmanthus blossoms, which are then blended with various types of tea leaves or used on their own. The meticulous processing involves handpicking the blossoms at their peak, drying them slowly to preserve their natural oils and fragrance, and sometimes blending them with green, black, or white tea leaves to create a harmonious and fragrant infusion.

What is Eco Tea?
Eco tea emphasizes natural ecology, focusing on protecting the environment by avoiding chemical pesticides and fertilizers. The production process respects and preserves the natural environment, maintaining ecological balance and preventing pollution and damage. It follows the principles of ecological agriculture, aiming for harmony between agricultural production and the ecosystem. While some eco tea gardens may not pursue organic certification due to scale and cost, their standards are equally rigorous. All our eco teas are licensed by Chinese food production authorities.

Storage Tips
To preserve the freshness and quality of Osmanthus Tea, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Avoid storing the tea in the kitchen or other damp areas. Proper storage ensures that the tea retains its delicate flavors and aromatic qualities over time. For long-term storage, consider refrigerating the tea in an airtight container to further extend its shelf life.
Brewing Method
To brew a perfect cup of Osmanthus Tea, follow these steps:
1. Measure: Use about 2-3 grams of osmanthus blossoms or osmanthus tea blend per 150 ml of water.
2. Rinse: If using osmanthus blossoms blended with tea leaves, rinse the tea leaves with hot water (around 80-85°C or 176-185°F) and discard the water. This helps to "wake up" the leaves and cleanse them.
3. Infuse: Add the osmanthus blossoms or the rinsed tea blend to a teapot or gaiwan and pour in hot water. Steep for about 2-3 minutes for the first infusion.
4. Serve: Pour the tea into a cup, leaving some water in the pot to cover the leaves.
5. Repeat: The same leaves can be steeped multiple times, with each infusion revealing new layers of flavor. Adjust steeping time for subsequent infusions as needed.
