Golden Osmanthus Black tea
Product Name: Golden Osmanthus Black Tea
Product Characteristics
· Appearance: Tightly twisted, glossy dark brown leaves, occasionally dotted with golden osmanthus petals.
· Liquor Color: Bright, clear orange-red
· Aroma: Upon opening the package, a rich osmanthus fragrance greets the nose. After pouring water, the tea and floral aromas blend harmoniously—elegant osmanthus with a long-lasting honeyed scent.
· Flavor: Smooth, sweet, and mellow on the palate. The rich, warm body of the black tea perfectly wraps around the fresh, vibrant notes of osmanthus. No bitterness or astringency, with a quick, pleasant sweetness and a lingering floral aftertaste.
Brewing Guide
It is recommended to use a Gaiwan or glass cup to fully appreciate the liquor color.
· Warm the Vessel: Rinse your teaware with boiling water. Add the dry leaves, cover, gently shake three times, and then inhale the "warm aroma"—this is when the floral scent is most intense.
· Water Temperature: 90-95°C (Avoid using water at a rolling boil to prevent scalding the leaves, which can cause sourness).
· Leaf Quantity: 3-5 grams (approximately enough to cover the bottom of a standard Gaiwan).
· Brewing Steps:
1. Rinse the Tea: Gently pour hot water along the inner wall of the vessel, immediately drain and discard the water (this awakens the leaves and should not be drunk).
2. Infuse: Refill with hot water and cover.
· Infusions 1-3: Steep for about 5-10 seconds and pour out immediately.
· From the 4th Infusion Onward: Gradually extend the steeping time by 5-10 seconds per infusion.
3. Enjoy: Inhale the fragrance while it's hot, then take small sips to appreciate the sweetness on your tongue.
