Osmanthus flower, while pleasant when added to oolong and black tea, is heavenly to drink on its own. These petite yellow nuggets brew up a light golden liquor and share their aroma of fresh spring flowers. On the palate these delicacies are floral, like a fresh high mountain oolong and simultaneously earthy, like chrysanthemum. Their tenderness adds a sweet milky quality you can feel in your mouth as you sip. Drinking osmanthus may very well be a cure for lack of sunshine on a rainy day.
