Xiang Osmanthus has a green tobacco base with medium to low nicotine and a fresh flavour profile. The primary scent is osmanthus with menthol and a secondary milk note. The aroma is similar to floral tea.
Green tobacco refers to tobacco processed to maintain a fresh character rather than the deeper, fermented notes found in darker snuffs. The osmanthus scenting is the primary element in this blend.
Osmanthus is a small East Asian flowering shrub (also called sweet or tea olive) with tiny apricot-orange blooms that carry a big scent. It's prized in China for tea, sweets, and perfume, and smells of apricot, honey, and black tea with a soft leathery edge.
