Osmanthus Tea

$20.00

Osmanthus Tea is a bit of a rare and special new addition to Tea Life that we have here on a trial basis. A unique and sweet scent that is both relaxing and comforting. Much like Jasmine, the Osmanthus flower is often used for scenting other teas. This should give you an indication of how fragrant it is!

Mainly grown in Japan and China and only harvested in late summer, Osmanthus also goes by the name of 'Sweet Olive' or 'Sweet Osmanthus'.

Benefits of Osmanthus include boosting the immune system and protecting against glactose induced aging. Studies have also shown an anti-inflammatory effect with this tea if taken once a day. The oils contained have also been shown to reduce anxiety and have a slight sedative effect.
