Additional details

Description

Tightly rolled oolong leaves are mixed with dried osmanthus flowers, visible as tiny yellow-orange petals scattered throughout. The leaves show the dark green typical of higher oxidation Taiwan oolongs. The dry aroma bursts with intense floral sweetness from the blossoms.

The liquor brews golden-amber with floral intensity. Osmanthus sweetness dominates the opening, followed by the creamy, milk-like character of the oolong base. Mid-palate brings tropical fruit notes as the two elements integrate. The texture remains smooth and coating. Later steeps allow more of the fresh oolong character to emerge beneath the floral layer. The finish holds both cream and fruit.

Base leaves come from Ali Shan in Taiwan's Chiayi County, scented with Yunnan osmanthus flowers. Appeals to drinkers who enjoy floral-scented varieties and creamy oolong profiles.
