This tea is a real treat to have on hand for the autumn season to carry into the holidays. I imagine you can use this in baking for cookies and breads. Also great for kids because it is caffeine-free. Very special - a must try! A quick note on osmanthus blossoms. Osmanthus plants flower in Japan and other parts of Asia. It is a native plant to China. Osmanthus flowers are often used in teas like jasmine blossoms, combined with green or oolong leaves. The taste has a delicate fruity aroma, and is similar to pitted fruits like apricots or peaches. In Taiwain, the tropical flower has sacred meaning for love and romance and is often used in weddings. In old customs, a bride may bring a potted osmanthus plant with a potted pomegranate plant to her new family to symbolize true love, faithfulness, fertility and peace in hopes of giving birth to bearing noble children.
