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… Read more

Well this is very different from the other Dong Ding I’ve tried. First of all, the leaves look NOWHERE near as dark as in the photo. In fact, they’re not even brown. And the smell of the dry leaves is pretty fruity. I was convinced this was not roasted until I tried the liquor. Even still, it is a VERY light roast (they call it a medium roast though).
This isn’t bad, but just confusing. The flavor is there and there’s some sweetness and stuff, but it’s just a bit jumbled to me.
Flavors: Cream, Fruity, Honey, Roasty, Sweet
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 notes in my head thinking I wrote them on here. It’s more hilarious and I already know it’s true, but tragic as it is farcical.
Enough self-absorption-onto the tea that I wish I could remember in greater clarity. So relying on the notes provided, this is a fairly complex and decadent tea. The roast coaxes out savory-sweeter notes of roasted nuts, honey, and cream, changing from nutty in earlier steeps to cream in the later ones. I personally remember something vaguely peachy in steep for, but I know like other nutty Gaoshan macademia and almond appeared. The was not too floral in earlier steeps, but I remember violet in steep five, and then fading out into creamy nuttiness. It’s also a tea that I probably used almond for in description, but I also remember the tea getting sweeter as I went on. I almost got more of it in my last order, yet I decided to prioritize newer teas to expand my horizons and luxuriate in some newer developments.
I know for sure that I am regretting not buying more of this one because it was very similar to the Phoenix Village Oolong that was in Eco-Cha’s club as it comes from the same village. This tea was less vegetal and more nutty, but not quite as fruity. This one is still one of my favorites from Wang Family Tea and really hits my spots for being easy going and complex at the same time.

Interesting. I created the page on it, and it was more of medium roast when I first got it. I almost didn’t order it because I thought they did a darker roast based on the picture. That’s a good thing for me in my recent order. I particularly like this one because it’s fruity with a little bit of roast.
Yes definitely mostly fruity and not too much roast! It was a super confusing tea for me haha.
