“One of my favorite of the medium light roasted oolongs from Wang Tea, and a Tea I swore that I wrote about in some form on here last year. Who knows; I might be going a full Quixote in writing the...” Read full tasting note
Color of the dry leaves range from dark greenish-brown to light black; dry leaf aroma is that of roasted nuts, with a hint of cream and honey. The tea liquor is a deep, red tinged yellow. First round of brewing smells sweet, roasty, and slightly creamy. This round tastes honey sweet, somewhat roasty, slightly creamy, and has a distinct flavor that only traditionally made, deeply oxidized oolongs have. This tea has a strong aftertaste that starts out sweet, then transitions into a more roasty flavor profile. The second round of brewing has a stronger roasted aroma than the first round, but it still retains some of that honey sweetness. Interestingly, the flavor of this tea has gone in the opposite direction and is now very sweet. However, underneath that sweetness, you can still taste the roasty, creamy, and deeply oxidized notes. This tea also has a distinct mouthfeel; it’s rich, and coats your mouth in very much the same way that heavy cream does. Third round of brewing has a wonderful complex aroma of cream, sweetness, and roasted nuts. Sweet cream is now the dominant flavor of this Dong Ding, but it still retains the unique deep oxidation notes.
