DONG DING LIGHT ROAST 冻顶乌龙轻焙

$38.00

Our Lightly Roasted Dong Ding Oolong is sourced from a fourth-generation farm nestled in the heart of Nantou County, Taiwan, where it is cultivated at 900 meters above sea level. The elevation, combined with the rich, fertile soil and ideal climate, imparts a remarkable depth and complexity to the tea. Handpicked with care, each leaf is selected at the peak of its maturity to ensure the highest quality.

This premium oolong is crafted using traditional methods, including sun and air withering, gentle bruising, semi-oxidation, and hand rolling. The tea is roasted over charcoal only once or twice, preserving the delicate floral and fruity notes while adding a subtle toasted richness that enhances its natural character. The result is a beautifully balanced cup with flavors of honey, sweet cream, and orchid-like floral sweetness, finishing with a smooth, clean aftertaste.

Perfect for those who appreciate the refined and delicate nuances of oolong, our Lightly Roasted Dong Ding offers a sophisticated, nuanced experience with each steep. This tea captures the artistry and craftsmanship of Taiwanese tea-making, providing a premium, handpicked product that embodies the essence of nature’s purity and the expertise passed down through generations.

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.
