This is another tea from Global Tea Hut. I think it is good quality. I picked up a roasted note only in the first infusion. This is interesting as I don’t think it was roasted. There was a bit of a mediciny note too. For several of the steeps I added fresh raspberries. The raspberries infused with tea, not so much the other way around. I of course ate the tea raspberries. For most of the ten steeps I drank it straight. It was smooth with little bitterness and an aftertaste I just don’t know how to describe. There is no point to recommending this tea. You simply can’t get it. This is in my opinion not the best Global Tea Hut has sent. It is good though.

I steeped this tea ten times in a 120ml gaiwan with 6g leaf and 190 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, and 1 min.

If I was to be honest about this: I expect really high grade material from GTH, but this Dong Ding doesn’t stand out compared to others that I’ve had. I still have one session left before I put up my review, but I was really hoping for a oolong to blow my mind.
I won’t be buying the 600g for $260 to age :/

I did not know you could buy this at all.

The Yixing jar is a nice touch but having drank the tea I don’t think its worth $260 or so. Says $250 plus shipping but how much is shipping. Also, I am not convinced that oolongs age well anyway.
