Oolong tea (Wu Long Cha, 烏龍茶) is a semi-oxidized tea that sits between green and black tea. It is known for its layered fragrance, rich body, and smooth sweetness that unfolds through multiple infusions.
-
The name comes from the traditional method of scenting oolong leaves with osmanthus blossoms. During processing, the flowers are layered with freshly made oolong, allowing the tea to naturally absorb their sweet, fruity fragrance — creating a perfect harmony of aroma and taste.
-
Osmanthus Oolong captures the essence of autumn in a cup. The natural scenting process infuses the tea with floral honey notes without any artificial additives. Its smooth texture and long-lasting sweetness make it ideal for both daily enjoyment and special moments of calm.

Golden-yellow liquor; soft, rounded body; notes of osmanthus, apricot, and light honey; smooth finish with gentle floral sweetness.
