This is my second purchase of Ismanthus tea and I really love the taste. It's light and floral and a treat to sip a gentle and sweet smelling tea.

First time I've bought Osmanthus and as soon as I smelt it, I instantly connected with it! Obviously exactly what my body needs.

This is my first big disappointment with Tea life. I love the scent of Osmanthus and imagined that tea will be fragrant with sweet taste. Unfortunately everything is opposite - no scent, the taste is like for dry tasteless grass. Perhaps it depends on the batch and produducer, but I would never buy again from Tea life Osmanthus. Saying that, for the extremely high price I would rather buy some of my favourite Green or White etc teas.

Osmanthus Tea 40g - Small
This is my second purchase of this tea! I think the negative reviewers possibly haven't added in enough of it. Whenever I make this, both the smell AND taste are wonderfully aromatic and sweet, much more so than other teas from here! It's a really unique flavour and lovely to drink. It's a staple in my tea collection!
