Staff PickOsmanthus Oolong Loose Leaf Tea
Osmanthus oolong is one of the most beautiful and aromatic teas in the Chinese tradition, and it makes an iced tea of extraordinary elegance and complexity. Osmanthus flowers — small, golden blossoms with an intensely sweet, apricot-like fragrance — are blended with a lightly oxidised oolong base to create a tea that is simultaneously floral, fruity, and smooth, with a natural sweetness that requires no added sugar whatsoever. Cold-brewed overnight, the osmanthus oolong produces a pale amber liquor with a fragrance that fills the glass before you even take a sip — the floral notes are more pronounced in cold brew than in hot, because the slow extraction draws out the aromatic compounds gently without cooking them off. It's a tea that feels genuinely luxurious to drink, and it makes a stunning impression when served to guests who have never encountered it before. Pair it with a slice of fresh peach or a few dried apricots for a flavour combination that is almost impossibly good.
