Sipdown! (25 | 514)
Enjoying this swap sample grandpa-style today, in my beautiful new glass tumbler from T2! ❤
I always forget how much I enjoy Dong Ding. It has none of the floral character that tends to drive me away from high mountain oolongs (though I know I’m in the minority there). Instead it’s more vegetal and rich with a clear mineral sweetness. This one is slightly roasted, and I’m really enjoying the lightly toasted nut and honey flavors that it brings out. There is a light floral note at the end of the sip, and it lingers into the aftertaste.
Yummy. I’m having a bit of difficulty describing this tea, but I’m really enjoying it. And so perfect for grandpa-style, as oolong almost always is!
