Osmanthus black tea is the house blend of black tea at Teapioca Lounge.
Osmanthus is a fragrant flower native to East Asia, particularly China, and is known for its sweet, floral aroma. To make osmanthus black tea, the tea leaves are scented with dried osmanthus flowers. During the processing, the tea leaves absorb the fragrance and flavor of the flower, resulting in a delicately perfumed tea with a sweet, floral taste.
Osmanthus black tea is popular in China and other East Asian countries, where osmanthus flowers have long been valued for their aroma and flavor in both culinary and medicinal applications. The combination of black tea and osmanthus creates a unique and aromatic beverage that is enjoyed by tea enthusiasts around the world.
