Sipdown! I still don’t really know what an osmanthus smells like when it isn’t in my tea, but in my tea it’s floral and a touch citrus-y. Other people picked up on an apricot note and I can see where they got that, though I didn’t identify it independently so power of suggestion might be at play here. This was a nice alternative to more typical floral teas like jasmine.
