Osmanthus is a flower that is small and beautiful with an intense yellow golden color. They give a pale yellow liquor with a very rich aroma. Grown in Southern China, it has a uniquely sweet and buttery flavour that makes it not only delicious to drink as a pure tea or part of a tea blend, but also great to create sweet desserts. Its melanin content and high concentrations of antioxidants may also serve to slow aging and the browning of foods.
