I drunk it during a relaxing lunch with salad and baked salmon fish cakes. The rather marked taste of the fish was smoothened firstly by notes of green-tea and then by the sweet touch of Osmanthus. Brewed for 5-6 minutes in a classical glass teapot. Wonderful scent and wonderful unfolding of the flower as well. Not to be missed. Davide

Great tea for Jing's 250ml gongfu teapot, the bloom fits it perfectly. This tea has a little stronger taste than most flowering teas, it's not so gentle as for example jasmine blooms - it's also less clear (contains a large amout of pollen) - you might want to pour it through a strainer. Overall, it's a great tea if you prefer stronger blooms.

Aroma:
