Organic Dong Ding Oolong Tea

Our organic Dong Ding Oolong Tea (also known as Tong Ting) is made in the “traditional style” with a deeper oxidation and a more pronounced roasting (as opposed to the more fashionable green style that has become popular these days). The single leaf, rolled balls lend an aroma of roasted peanut shells with orchid notes and a sweet full-bodied, smooth, and creamy infusion.

Dong Ding Oolong Tea is an excellent example of one of the most complicated oolong teas to produce. Working with the traditional Taiwanese varietal, Jin Xuan, on a small family farm in the Huang Shan area of Anhui, award-winning Taiwanese Tea Master Mr. Chen uses traditional Taiwanese methods to produce small batches of Dong Ding in the non-traditional location of China. Interestingly, Mr. Chen was delighted to find that the Huang Shan soil is particularly suited to bringing out the creamy, velvety sweetness of this organic loose leaf tea.

As with our other organic Chinese oolongs, our Dong Ding oolong may be infused multiple times, with each infusion revealing a new nuance of this tea’s complex flavor.
