Osmanthus flowers – golden blossoms admired for their natural honey-like aroma and traditional soothing properties

Fresh milk – which rounds out the floral and grassy notes with a gentle, creamy finish
Together, these ingredients create a light-bodied yet full-flavored drink that’s ideal for both tea beginners and connoisseurs.
