DONG DING MEDIUM ROAST 冻顶乌龙中焙

$38.00

Our Medium Roasted Dong Ding Oolong is a true testament to Taiwan's tea craftsmanship, sourced from a 4th-generation farm nestled in Nantou County, at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level. Here, the fertile soil and temperate climate come together to cultivate tea leaves of exceptional quality, handpicked with care to ensure only the finest harvest.

Using time-honored techniques, the leaves undergo sun and air withering, gentle bruising, semi-oxidation, and hand rolling before being roasted over charcoal. The medium roast enhances the delicate floral and fruity notes of the leaves, while adding a toasted richness that offers depth without overpowering. This careful process creates a beautifully balanced tea, with vibrant complexity and a smooth, gentle finish.

With a moderate level of caffeine and rich in probiotics, this tea is the ideal choice for those seeking a gentle, uplifting start to their day. Its smooth, honeyed sweetness and light orchid-like florality make each sip a balanced, refreshing experience, with a clean, satisfying finish. This medium roast offers a refined tea moment—perfect for tea lovers looking to enjoy a flavorful yet mellow cup.

Luxurious and golden, caramel notes bring a rich, sweet depth with hints of toffee and burnt sugar.

TOASTED SWEETNESS

Balanced and rich, toasted sweetness melds caramelized sugar with warm, roasted undertones for a layered and comforting flavor.

SWEET CREAM

Lush and indulgent, sweet cream notes offer a rich, velvety sweetness with subtle dairy undertones, evoking the smoothness of fresh whipped cream or silky custard.

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.
