Osmanthus Oolong

Closed, opens tomorrow 9:30amIndependent shop in DowntownDirections

Available from Perennial Tea Room when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The bright florals of this tea hit you like the first warm rays of spring after a long, dark winter, but the rich body of the lightly oxidized Taiwanese oolong reminds of us the full bloom of a garden—not just the flowers, but the full forest of greens. We highly recommend re-steeping this tea as many times as you can. The florality never fades, but it does soften to a more balanced meadow-green, with a lasting vegetal sweetness with a breath of osmanthus. Ugh. Poetry. We love this tea. Ingredie
