Category: Oolong

Origin: Lugu, Taiwan

Harvest: Winter 2018

Sitting between a green and a black tea, traditional Oolong is withered by the sun and air, bruised through rolling, semi-oxidized and baked, then twisted and rolled into small spheres with purple and green hues before a final roast.

Grown on Dong Ding mountain in Taiwan, this Oolong is harvested from a 4th generation farm and nurtured using a distinct set of cultivar to bring forth its optimized flavor. Handpicked and slow roasted over charcoal wood, our Dong Ding Oolong represents the coupling of impeccably grown leaves harvested under optimal conditions in the high mountains of Taiwan and traditionally processed by an expert tea master.

This mid-oxidized Qing Xin Oolong variety tea leaves have been roasted slowly and carefully by our tea master in the art of traditional Oolong roasting, to create a finished tea that is well balanced, toasty, smooth and light sweetness.

Tasting Notes: Sweet toasty caramelized-sweetness , warm of cinnamon & clean floral end notes

History: Dong Ding Oolong represents one of the most genuine and original flavors of Taiwan. The craft of this style of Oolong is in large part thankful to the early Fujianese settlers in this area of Nantou county that looked to nature and saw that it was perfect for making a good Oolong; in a similar fashion to Tieguanyin of Anxi county in central Fujian in mainland China. Dong Ding Oolong that came to develop, retained some qualities of that famous tea and created some of its own processing and roasting techniques to create its characteristic flavor.
