Hand picked tea. Complex honey roasted & mineral notes capturing the signature ‘Dong Ding’ flavour with a fruity floral twist!
This Spring we chose to source this Ali Shan offering over our normal ‘Higher Grade Dong Ding’, We actually think it tastes way better! The material is Ali Shan high mountain (around 1800m altitude) and has been processed in a ‘Dong Ding style’. There is a classic DD taste to this tea but also a wonderful Ali Shan exotic perfume like note to it as well, a great combo! The taste is fresh with light honey roasted notes. You should be able to reach at least ten infusions with sweetness and flavour carrying on through with short infusions or push the tea out to show off more of the teas flavour! Hand picked, the tea retains some stalk which adds to the complexity. Sourced from our trusty Taiwanese vendor in Guangdong.
