Osmanthus is pungent and can be used as medicine. It is traditionally used in
- Resolving phlegm

The ancients believed that the osmanthus flower improves longevity so drinking tea or wine made with osmanthus is like "drinking a thousand years of life." During the Han Dynasty, osmanthus wine was used to worship the gods and honor ancestors. The younger generations offered the osmanthus to their elders to encourage long happy life.
The flower tea is sweet and mellow, appetizing and refreshing, invigorating the spleen, improving mood, and reducing deficiency.
