I got this tea from DTH and I was suprise by the price (around 11€/ 100g)
At first when I open the package I saw the leaves rolls very small and tight. The smell from the package has nothing to do with “normal” Dong Ding oolong from Taiwan. It smells close to roasted Tie Kuan Yin with a merely scent of nuts, something that akes you feel strange if you have already tasted real Taiwanese Dong Ding !

When it comes to steeping, the tea doesnt develop any special flavour other then nuts and seaweed. The leaves doesnt develop much even after 2nd steeping + slight smell of dry and salted seaweed and a little bit smoky too. Nothing interesting at all.

I Dont even think this product comes from Taiwan and I surely wouldn’t recommend this tea not even to beginners.

Flavors: Almond, Roast Nuts, Salty, Seaweed, Smoke

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 1 min, 15 sec
