Osmanthus Oolong
Taste: Citrus, Apricot, Mellow
Serving: Each bag (4.3 oz) makes around 50 to 60 cups of tea, depending on your taste preference.
We’ve long loved osmanthus, not just for its golden bloom but for what it brings to memory: Mid-Autumn nights, sweet rice cakes, streets scented after rain. Grown across the southwest hills of China, it was once called the “soul fragrance of the East.” This tea pairs roasted oolong with real osmanthus blossoms, layered and rested until the aroma gently settles into the leaves. Once enjoyed by poets and nobles in the Song dynasty, osmanthus tea has always marked the softer season of the year. Comforting, floral, and just a little nostalgic, it’s a tea that always feels close.

Oolong Tea
Oolong’s polymerized polyphenols have also been studied for their interaction with pancreatic lipase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This connection may help explain oolong tea’s traditional place after richer meals and its growing research around lipid metabolism. Rather than acting as a “cleanse,” oolong supports the body’s natural digestive and metabolic processes through its tea polyphenols and antioxidant activity.
Osmanthus Petals
In Chinese households, osmanthus has long been welcomed in autumn teas and desserts for its warm fragrance and its traditional association with soothing seasonal dryness. Modern preclinical research offers an interesting parallel: Osmanthus fragrans flower extract has shown effects on airway inflammation, allergen-related IgE responses, and mucus clearance, suggesting potential support for respiratory comfort and the body’s natural response to allergens.

This is a beautiful, high-quality tea. You can tell a lot of care went into crafting it. It's very complementary. I enjoy that it is floral, but not overpowering and a hint of sweetness. I have steeped it 2-3 times and each is just a little different but just as good. I've also cold brewed it for something cool and tasty. So delightful! CHAFOLIO truly stands out for their premium teas.

I will buy more

just like picture I love it

This tea smells so GOOD! I love just standing by the kitchen counter and smell the fragrant aroma while waiting for it to steep. 😌
J
All their oolongs are delicious, but the aroma and flavor of this one is my favorite. It doesn't turn as quickly as the other teas (meaning it goes bitter if steeped too long).
A
Juicy and sweet instantly hits the nose on this tea! Super refreshing when cold brewed in the fridge for 5+ hours.
C
This tastes amazing, very clean and refreshing. I usually do it cold brew style, and even after the 2nd cold brew steep it still has great flavor. I will definitely keep this in my rotation at home.
L
Fragrant and delicious.

How did I discover that this morning we are drinking the Osmanthus Oolong for the first time? Partner is brewing and the aroma has actually filled a good part of our little house with the smell of baking pound cake. It's a little buttery, a little floral, a little sweet, a little earthy...crazy! I walked toward the kitchen saying what is that? what am I smelling?
It has a surprising flavor that matches the surprising aroma. It's certainly not as strongly perfumey as jasmine tea, which is in general, not our favorite because it's too strongly floral.
Once it cools a bit in the cup, the apricot character becomes evident. So pleasant.
This tea has a complex forward character and the flavor lingers long after even the retro nasal taste experience. It's a delightful journey.

This tea is wonderful! I can get almost 3 full pots and the flavor remains terrific! Am a devoted customer from now on!

really strong osmanthus flavor

This tea is perfectly flavored and blended with the osmanthus flowers! I would definitely recommend this tea to anyone who's looking for something not too sweet but still has the light floral flavors to make the oolong more interesting.
T
This is a delightful tea! I drink it hot or cold and it’s still delicious after 3 steepings.
H
There is a wonderful, sensory experience while drinking this tea. As soon as you open the bags, you instantly smell the perfume-y osmanthus with hints of the earthy oolong leaves. When steeped, the tea has a light but warming taste. When prepared with a Gaiwan, each subsequent steep provides a unique taste.

This is a delicious, fragrant oolong. I get a solid two 12oz cups from a tablespoon. It's not too flowery, like (in my opinion) jasmine can be. I love that the osamanthus is paired with oolong.

As soon as I opened up the bag, the wonderful smell of osmanthus surrounded me. This tea tastes just as good, with each steep bringing newer notes. Truly a wonderful sensory experience and treat!
