Was that scented with flowers? The Osmanthus Oolong I had may have been scented with "flavoring." I don't remember any flowers and it just tasted cloyingly floral and artificial.
I doubt if I would buy properly scented, but would certainly give it a taste to see what all the hubbub was about.

yes it was with real flowers which they removed after scenting...it was very suble not in your face like jasmine is.
I agree real osmanthus scented tea is much more subtle than jasmine. To me the scent is very peach-like. It can be a very nice tea.
