Discover Dong Ding Oolong: A Masterpiece from Taiwan's Heartland
Experience the Essence of Dong Ding Mountain:
Sourced from the misty, high-altitude slopes of Dong Ding Mountain in Nantou, Taiwan, our premium Dong Ding Oolong is a testament to tradition and artisanal skill. This semi-oxidized tea is a celebrated treasure, renowned for its perfect balance of robust character and elegant sophistication.
Artisan Craftsmanship, Signature Flavor:
Each leaf is carefully hand-plucked and processed using time-honored methods, including a crucial charcoal roasting stage. This meticulous craft transforms the leaves into tightly rolled, dark green pearls that unfurl gracefully with each infusion.
A Rich and Rewarding Sensory Journey:
【Aroma】: The dry leaves emanate a warm, inviting toasted fragrance with subtle hints of orchids and dried fruit. Once brewed, the fragrant steam carries a deeper, honeyed sweetness.
【Liquor】: The tea brews into a beautiful, clear liquor ranging from golden to deep amber.
【Taste】: Savor a wonderfully complex and smooth cup. The initial roasted, nutty notes gracefully unfold into layers of stone fruit (like ripe peach or apricot) and a touch of creamy caramel.
【Finish】: The true hallmark of a great Dong Ding—a remarkably sweet, lingering aftertaste (known as “hui gan”) that stays pleasantly on the palate long after your last sip.
Perfect For:
The tea connoisseur seeking depth and complexity, or anyone looking to elevate their daily ritual with a tea that is both comforting and captivating. It is an ideal companion for mindful moments, afternoon reflection, or sharing with discerning guests.
Brewing Suggestion:
For best results, use 1 teaspoon (approx. 3-5g) of leaves per 150ml of water at 90-95°C (195-205°F). Steep for 30 seconds to 1 minute for the first infusion, adjusting time to your preference for subsequent steeps. This high-quality oolong can be re-infused 5-7 times, with each brew revealing a nuanced aspect of its flavor profile.
Embrace a legacy in every cup. Indulge in the timeless taste of Taiwan's most iconic oolong.
