“This tea is very savoury vegetal and smell a bit like sencha. There is no bitterness or astringency, and also very little sweetness or florals. The main note I get is fenugreek.” Read full tasting note
Origin: Shan Lin Xi Mountain, Nantou, Taiwan.
Harvest: 16th January 2024
Cultivar: Qing Xin
Dong Pian means frozen petal and it’s unique kind of Taiwanese oolong.
Tea is produced after regular winter harvest – usually during last days of December or first part of January.
Our 2024 Dong Pian was made on 16th January, so it’s the first 2024 tea in our line-up.
To understand the Dong Pian phenomena is a sudden rise in temperatures during the winter. The bushes wrongly “think” it’s a beginning of the spring and they starts to bud!
To make Dong Pian Oolong the buds and older leaves are used. Sometimes the buds are very very tiny.
Our Dong Pian is smooth, balanced and unroasted. You will find here unique notes of fresh green pea, asparagus, fresh grass, little bit of vegetal umami and creamy nuances that make the liquor texture more intriguing. Zero bitterness, zero astringency.
Highly recommended. Every tea lover should taste this unique Winter Sprout Oolong
