“The second of my two Leafy Green samples. Creamy with notes of brown sugar, dry wood, candied citrus, and incense supporting a fresh vegetal background. Extremely tasty tea. Full review here:...” Read full tasting note

Description

Sitting between a green and a black tea, traditional oolong is naturally withered by the sun and air, bruised through rolling, and allowed to semi-oxidize before being twisted and rolled into small spheres with purple and green hues prior to a final charcoal roast.

Grown on Dong Ding mountain in Taiwan, this oolong is harvested from a 4th generation farm and nurtured using a distinct set of cultivar to bring forth its optimized flavor. Handpicked and slow roasted over charcoal wood, our Dong Ding Oolong represents the coupling of impeccably grown leaves harvested under optimal conditions in the high mountains of Taiwan and traditionally processed by an expert tea master.

With a shorter roasting process compared to our Heavy Roast variety, the Light Roast Dong Ding has mellow notes of honey and an inviting cinnamon flavor.

Naturally rich in probiotics, oolong is optimal for a happy belly. Coupled with its caffeine this is the perfect tea to start your day.

Tasting Notes: sweet inviting cinnamon flavor with a mellow honey richness
