One of the best things about high-quality tea is its versatility, and our Osmanthus Oolong is a great poster child for this. The natural sweetness of this tea means you can make a super light, refreshing iced tea with no other ingredients - it's sweet by itself! To make our iced osmanthus oolong tea, we recommend brewing your tea in your preferred manner (either gongfu style or with a western strainer) and then simply pouring over ice to cool.
@tea3fineteas Part 3 | We are back with another riff on iced Osmanthus oolong tea! If you like a little extra something special with your tea, the addition of just a little cream makes for a rich tea latte that is a treat to enjoy #icedtea #osmanthusoolong #osmanthus #oolong #tea #drinktea #tealatte #latte #icedlatte #floral #teadrink #drink #cream #creamy ♬ Coffee Cup Love - Dudley G
A variation on this is a simple iced osmanthus oolong latte. Since the tea has a delicate and floral flavor, adding too much milk or cream can quickly dilute the taste. To avoid this, we added about two tablespoons of cream to a full 8 oz. cup of iced tea. This gave our latte a nice, creamy texture without overwhelming the tea taste.
Try your osmanthus oolong tea both ways, and let us know what you like best!
