    HOW IT'S MADE
    Hand-plucked leaves, sun-withered, toasted with organic osmanthus flower from tea grower's garden

    What can inspire a tea grower more than the irresistible scent of the Osmanthus flower? N°16 is a special oolong made with hand-plucked Osmanthus flowers from our tea grower’s garden. The fragrance of Osmanthus is extracted using an ancient technique called enfleurage. Only a few pounds of this exceptional tea are made each year. A blooming winter garden in a teacup!

    The Osmanthus plant is deeply rooted in Asian culture and blooms only in the snowy winter. Our tea grower Mr Lee hand-plucks them from his own garden and blends them with a light oolong. This fantastic aroma will take you to a happy garden every time you smell it.
