Enjoying this lovely tea on a chilly Monday afternoon. Immediately when the hot water touches the leaves, they begin to unfurl and release a beautiful fragrance. It’s roasty, it’s warming, and pretty nutty. Gongfu style, 205F water, about 6.5g/120ml
This dong ding is smooth, and it tastes like a lesser version of the smell. It’s rather one-dimensional but that one dimension is pretty yummy. Definitely more notes of roast than anything else, but it’s creamy and fills the mouth nicely. Certainly a good tea to warm you up and get you into the day, but not the most mind-blowing experience ever. Recommended due to the price and the fact that it’s a solid tea overall. I’m really interested in trying more dong dings to get a feel for the range that this particular tea would fall into.
