Dong Ding Oolong (冻顶乌龙) - Loose Leaf Tea

Tea Matters™ Dong Ding Oolong (冻顶乌龙) is sourced from our Taiwanese Tea Farmer Mr Chang and processed by 4th generation Tea Baker, Wen Yu. In addition to the honey sweetness of tea, the typical Dong Ding Oolong Tea carries a charcoal aroma due to the finishing step of deep roasting.

Dong Ding Oolong is a very popular tea from Taiwan, it’s name taken from the ‘Dong Ding’ mountain in central Taiwan, meaning ‘Frozen summit'.

Dong Ding Oolong only harvests one-tip three-leaf, and then oxidizes the tea 20%-30% by withering. After that, tea leaves are extruded into spherical shape and finally baked with charcoal.
