Brewing

It is rather easy to brew Oolong Osmanthus Tea which makes one enjoy its subtle floral accents and strong oolong taste:

Water temperature: Please heat water to close to 85-90°C (185-194°F) to minimize the bitterness in the oolong and too harsh floral tones.

Steeping time: Please take 1-2 teaspoons of oolong osmanthus tea leaves and place inside the teapot or infuser for about 3-5 minutes in order for the tea to steep. Increase or reduce the steeping time based on how dark or light you want your brew.

Enhancements: This tea can be considered richer than most other teas and may not require anything extra to enjoy it. However, about a drop of honey, or a little piece of lemon can support the flavor and increase fruity and floral notes.

Iced tea option: In the case a person is craving iced tea, he or she should prepare tea just like he or she always does, cool it down and pour it over the ice. Garnishing with slices of fresh fruit or adding mint helps to create another dimension of taste.

Enjoy: Continue sipping slowly such as to appreciate the interrelationship of the floral sweetness and the oolong elements, regardless this is warm or cold.
