When is the osmanthus harvest season and how does it affect availability?

Question

Accepted Answer

Golden osmanthus blooms once a year in autumn, typically September to November, and each flowering window lasts only a few weeks, so yearly stock must be produced within that short season. FactorImpact on SupplyFlowering window2–4 weeks per bloom cycle, weather-dependentHand pickingLabor-intensive; blooms gathered at peak fragranceFresh distillationMust run within hours of picking for aroma fidelityYearly planningHydrosol volume for the full year is fixed by the seasonAvailability is therefore strongest from September to December, right after the season. Large programs should lock volume before the bloom, while orders later in the year draw on seasonal stock. We keep production records per season and can document harvest year on the COA.Share your forecast timing and we will align allocation with the coming harvest.
