Description

Indulge in the exquisite flavors of our organic Dong Ding Oolong tea, cultivated amidst the serene hills of Nantou, Taiwan, at an elevation of 2952 feet. This tea is crafted from carefully selected leaves that undergo an intermediate roasting process, enhancing their natural flavors while preserving their delicate nuances.

Hand-picked by skilled tea artisans, the tea leaves unfold into tightly rolled balls that signify the meticulous care put into their cultivation and processing. The moderate oxidation level of approximately 20-40% ensures a harmonious balance between the fresh green notes and deeper, roasted undertones characteristic of Dong Ding Oolong.

Upon steeping, the tea releases a captivating aroma, inviting you to savor its complex flavor profile. Delicate floral notes intertwine with a subtle sweetness and a gentle roasted and smoky nuttiness, culminating in a smooth and satisfying finish that lingers on the palate.

Organic certification guarantees that our Dong Ding Oolong is cultivated using sustainable farming practices, free from synthetic chemicals, and respecting the natural environment. This commitment to organic purity ensures that each cup not only delights the senses but also supports your well-being.

Whether enjoyed during moments of reflection or shared with friends during tea gatherings, our organic Dong Ding Oolong tea embodies the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Taiwanese tea culture. Elevate your tea experience with this exceptional blend that captures the essence of Nantou’s pristine landscapes and centuries-old tea traditions.

Steeping instructions: Steeping Dong Ding Oolong tea properly is crucial to bring out its nuanced flavors and aromas.

Use water heated to around 190°F to 200°F (88°C to 93°C). Dong Ding Oolong tea benefits from water that is not quite boiling to avoid scalding the delicate leaves.

Use approximately 1 teaspoon (about 3 to 4 grams) of Dong Ding Oolong tea leaves per 8 ounces of water. Adjust the amount based on personal preference for tea strength.

First Infusion: Steep the tea leaves for about 20 seconds and discard the initial brew. This initial steeping allows the tightly rolled leaves to unfurl and release their flavors. Then steep for 3 minutes.

Subsequent Infusions: Dong Ding Oolong tea can be steeped multiple times, with each infusion offering a slightly different flavor profile. Increase the steeping time by 30 seconds to 1 minute for each subsequent infusion. You can typically enjoy 3 to 5 infusions from the same batch of tea leaves.

    Delicious smooth, green, earthy with the hint of being roasted. I always steep mine longer as I love a deeper flavour profile and this tea is perfect. By far the best oolong, and I love me some oolong. I do hope this becomes a regular as I could drink it everyday and still be amazed at how delicious it is! (fingers crossed)
