Having missed out on the competition Dong Ding from TTC, I grabbed this “flagship” Dong Ding instead. Don’t be fooled by the perfectly piss-yellow of the liquor…this tea is as clear and delicious as any Dong Ding I have tried! I am cha qi blissed…I am Sun Ra on the rings of saturn…
Brewed this one gong fu at 200 F. It tastes sweet, spicy, floral, milky. Everything you might want it has. It also tastes just like cinnamon toast crunch? Like the milk left in the bowl…ooh boy, love it love it love it.
Longer steepings were not bitter at all, more of a bready quality with less of the sweetness. I recommend short steepings 6, 3, 8, 10, 15, so on…I will drink this tea again and again.
