I got this in the LiquidProust Regional Oolong Group Buy 2017.
Let me first say that I have come to really enjoy Dong Dings. Or at least I thought. I’m not sure what makes a DD-Oolong a DD-Oolong but I can’t stand this tea. I only infused it twice (plus a rinse) before giving up.
I did 4.5 grams in 150 ml gaiwan and probably about 190-195 degrees for 25 seconds.
It taste very medicinal like drinking oolong flavored cough syrup. There are some nutty notes and some sort of floral notes but overall it taste like something you take when you’re sick. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad quality tea, it just doesn’t work for me.
It’s a bummer because I had just had a similar experience with an oolong that was super off putting. It was the (unnamed mystery) ball / pearl Oolong that we got in the shipment. I guess I’m excited to learn about teas that I don’t like, since I haven’t come across too many.Flavors: Medicinal, Nuts

That ball was a jingmai oolong ball from Beautiful Taiwan Tea and they are quite fantastic… sorry you didn’t enjoy it
It’s cool! It was just a bummer to drink two in a row that I didn’t like. I’m currently really enjoying the smoked Oolong!!! Super tasty. Thanks for the info and all the hard work you put in!
