| Guilin | Osmanthus Tea ?? Posted: Mon January 8, 2007 11:45 AM UTC
I live in Sydney and ive just come back from my China Holiday. I bought some lovely Osmanthus tea in Guilin, which i have everyday and its neally all gone. I was just wondering if anyone knows how i can buy some Osmanthus tea. I live in Sydney Australia.
Are there any good traditional chinese/Guilin Shops back in Sydney or Australia which sell good quality osmanthus tea?? Any info will be greatly appreciated!!! THANKS!! christine P.S Also does anyone know what makes it sweet. |

Osmanthus flowers are naturally sweet. However I don't know if the osmanthus tea you drank had sugar artificially added to it.
BTW, you might be better off asking the question of buying the tea on the Australia/Sydney forum.

| Guilin | Osmanthus Tea in Sydney? Posted: Mon January 8, 2007 03:55 PM UTC
Doesn't Sydney have something resembling a Chinatown? Almost every Chinatown I've ever visited has had a tea shop. Maybe look in the local Sydney business directory for "Asian Groceries" or "Oriental Goods"

Try Paddy's Market, there are lots of tea stores there. Also I think there may be some at the Rocks weekend market.

one more place is the the Chinese Garden at Darling Harbour, I think they have a tea house there, if they do not carry the tea they should be able to direct you to a local merchant.
