Origin
Osmanthus, a yellow-gold flower grown in Fujian, Southern China. The region with its mild climate, fertile soil and abundant rainfall, provides excellent natural conditions for growing good quality Osmanthus flowers. It grows in autumn, and does not grow on a bush like chrysanthemum, but instead, it is an evergreen shrub or small tree that can reach up to 12 meters tall. The flowers are delicately tiny and grows on the branches. The time between when the buds open and completely drop onto the ground is short. In fact, it is only 9 days and there are only 3 days during this time when Osmanthus has the most ideal aroma and taste. Once the farmers pick the flowers, they will dry the flowers for 14-16 hours in order for it to retain the bright yellow color.
