Field Notes

Description:

Everyone loves sweet osmanthus, which is frequently included in ceremonial bridal dowries in Taiwan for its symbolic associations with material success and fertility. It has a strong, sweet fragrance. It is also added to Oolong tea, fermented to make alcohol, or added to certain sticky rice chinese dish.
