“Brewed this tea western, gongfu, and this time grandpa style. Ehhh wasn’t particularly impressed or unimpressed. I’m starting to realize I really just prefer greener oolongs and this lightly...” Read full tasting note
“Sipdown (601)! As I mentioned in my last note for this tea, I had a very odd amount of it left. Not enough to brew Gong Fu, for sure – but still a strange amount for a Western mug. I did make it...” Read full tasting note

Description

A perpetual favorite among oolong lovers, DongDing Oolong is grown on the DongDing Mountain in Nantou County in central Taiwan, making it one of the best oolong teas in the world. Our DongDing has a strong, clean flavor, with an aroma of ripe fruit. Partially oxidized and lightly roasted, DongDing is an approachable tea—a good choice for oolong newbies to whet their taste buds with.

DongDing turns an amber color when steeped and possesses a sweet, fruity flavor and aroma. Longer steep times will yield a stronger, more vivid tea, with a fuller body and aroma. Smooth, with a clean aftertaste. Don’t blame us if you develop a DongDing habit.

Tea leaves are green and come curled into balls.
