This is the Lupicia Moonlight Osmanthus.
This blend combined black tea with golden osmanthus blossoms, offering a fragrant floral profile grounded in a gentle black tea base.
Steeping 3 g in 200 mL of water at 85°C for 2.5 minutes produced a clear red-brown infusion with a sweet, honeyed floral aroma characteristic of osmanthus. Consumed hot, the tea opened with the signature notes of osmanthus—floral, peach-like, and lightly apricot-toned—melding smoothly with the black tea’s rounded maltiness and soft fruit undertones. The balance between the osmanthus and the tea base was well-judged, with neither overwhelming the other. The floral notes lingered subtly on the finish, while the tea itself remained free from astringency or bitterness, resulting in a soft and polished mouthfeel.
Overall, a refined, well-balanced tea that highlights osmanthus with clarity and elegance. Smooth, aromatic, and worth repurchasing.
This Lupicia Moonlight Osmanthus contained 50 g. The tea was sourced from India and Vietnam, packaged in Japan and purchased in Australia in 2025.
