DONG DING HEAVY ROAST 冻顶乌龙重培

$38.00

Our Heavy Roasted Dong Ding Oolong is a bold, rich tea that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Taiwan's tea farmers. Sourced from a fourth-generation farm in Nantou County, Taiwan, this tea is grown at an altitude of 900 meters, where the combination of rich soil and a favorable climate results in a complex, flavorful cup.

Crafted using time-honored methods, the leaves are handpicked and undergo sun and air withering, gentle bruising, semi-oxidation, and hand rolling. The leaves are then roasted over charcoal multiple times, deepening the flavor profile and adding a satisfying roasted richness that enhances the natural sweetness of the tea. This extended roasting process creates a bold and deeply satisfying cup, with a robust flavor that lingers on the palate.

Compared to lighter roasts, the Heavy Roast reveals a fuller, more intense flavor with toasted notes of honey, caramel, and roasted nuts, while still maintaining a subtle floral undertone. With moderate caffeine and rich probiotics, this tea is a perfect brew to support digestion and provide a gentle wake-up. The boldness of this tea makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a hearty, full-bodied tea experience with a naturally sweet and smooth finish.

REGION:
LUGU, TAIWAN

Lugu, nestled in Taiwan's central Nantou County, is renowned for producing some of the finest oolong teas, particularly Dong Ding (or Tung Ting) Oolong. The region's mountainous terrain, with elevations ranging from 600 to 1,200 meters, creates the perfect environment for tea cultivation. Its subtropical climate features cool, misty mornings and warm afternoons, allowing the tea leaves to grow slowly and develop rich, complex flavors.

The fertile, well-drained soils and ample rainfall further enhance the quality of the tea, while traditional processing methods—like hand-picking and partial oxidation—bring out the signature floral, creamy, and slightly roasted notes of Lugu's oolong teas. This region is a cornerstone of Taiwan's tea heritage, offering teas that are both deeply aromatic and exquisitely balanced.
