These delicate, shade-dried leaves from China's Fujian Province are naturally high in antioxidants. Egyptian chamomile petals and Chinese osmanthus flowers add a fragrant, toasty, creamy and slightly sweet bloom of flavor.
I was hesitant about a chamomile-forward tea, but the Egyptian chamomile here is so soft and the osmanthus adds a buttery sweetness that lingers. The leaves are visibly delicate and shade-dried, and the brew comes out a lovely golden color without any bitterness.
The osmanthus gives it this warm, toasty sweetness that I didn't expect from a tea, and the chamomile keeps it super smooth. I've been brewing a cup every afternoon and the creamy finish lingers just long enough to make the whole ritual feel special.
The floral aroma is lovely, though I wish the osmanthus came through a bit stronger next to the chamomile. Still, it brews up creamy and toasty, and the shade-dried leaves have a smoothness that makes it my new afternoon pick.
