Traditional Formosa Dong Ding Oolong 2019

The name "Dong Ding" literally means "Frozen Tip". According to local people, tea farmers who climb the mountain to harvest tea usually come back with frozen toes. Hence the name of the mountain and the tea. The mountain is surrounded by fog for most of the year. It is said that this contributes to the good quality of the tea.

This oolong tea is made by Master Atong Chen in Dong Ding Mountain in Nantou County, Taiwan. The Dong Ding Oolong is a Qingxin variety made in the traditional style, ie relatively heavily roasted.

Most of the dong ding oolong on the market today are not roasted, which gives the tea a high floral aroma and green taste. But traditionally roasted dong ding oolong has a nutty warmth and a sweet feeling like a sweet morning dew. The traditional Dong Ding Oolong has a stable nature, which means that the warmth and sweetness are gently felt up to 6-8 infusions and the tea can be stored for many years, not only without losing its taste, but also getting better over time.
