Flavor & Aroma

The cup combines the round, malty sweetness of Yunnan black tea with the lifted floral fragrance of osmanthus. The liquor brews a clear amber-to-copper tone with a smooth body, gentle honeyed sweetness and a lingering floral finish. Because the osmanthus is blended through the compressed tea, the fragrance opens gradually as the brick loosens over successive infusions.

How to Brew Osmanthus Black Tea

Gongfu Style

1. Use 1 mini brick (7g) for a 120–160ml gaiwan or small teapot.
2. Heat water to 90–95°C.
3. A quick 3–5 second rinse is optional if you want the compressed brick to open faster.
4. Start with a 10–15 second infusion.
5. Increase each later infusion by about 5–10 seconds as the leaves open.
6. Continue for multiple infusions until the floral sweetness and body soften.

Large Pot / Everyday Style

Use 1 mini brick for approximately 350–450ml water at 90–95°C. Steep for around 2–3 minutes, then decant fully. Re-steep to taste rather than leaving the tea sitting in water for a long period.

Food Pairing & Best Moments

This tea works especially well with light pastries, butter cookies, sponge cake, fruit tart, mooncake, nuts and mildly sweet dim sum. Its floral aroma also makes it an easy afternoon-tea choice, while the individually wrapped bricks suit office brewing and travel.

How to Display It at Home

For a refined tea-room look, arrange several wrapped mini bricks in a shallow bamboo tray, lacquer tray or ceramic tea dish and keep the remaining pieces protected in the original package. The natural paper wrapping pairs especially well with walnut, oak, bamboo, stone, linen and neutral-toned interiors. In a new-Chinese-style room, place the tea beside a small teapot, tasting cups and a low tea tray rather than crowding it with too many decorative objects.

For display, keep the tea away from direct sunlight, steam, incense smoke, perfume, kitchen aromas and humid shelves. Tea easily absorbs surrounding odors, so decorative placement should still respect proper storage.

Gift Ideas

The individually wrapped 7g format makes this an approachable Chinese tea gift for housewarmings, host gifts, office gifts, Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn gatherings, birthdays and thank-you occasions. It is particularly suitable for recipients who enjoy black tea, floral tea or Chinese tea culture but may not want to break apart a large Pu-erh cake.

Storage

Store in a clean, ventilated, dry and odor-free place. Keep away from moisture, strong smells, heat and direct sun. Do not store beside spices, perfume, incense or cleaning products.
