FROZEN PEAK from LUGU, NANTOU, TAIWAN

ORIGIN
DONG DING started to appear in the late 17th century as one of the first wulongs (oolongs) produced in Taiwan by refugees from the Fujian province, China. After more than 300 years of history, this tea has become the hallmark of Taiwanese tea. Thanks to the unique microclimate, the mineral composition of the soil, the altitude above sea level, and the sea winds, the tea received a unique, pronounced, deep taste. The taste is bright, thick, and multifaceted, with piquant honey notes and light berry sourness. The bouquet of tea is floral-spicy, and rich, leaving a long, nutty-fruity aftertaste. The aroma is intoxicating, with a slight aroma of spices. Dong Ding tea also has a rich mineral and vitamin composition that has a beneficial effect on the human body.

We are pleased to introduce you to the authentic Dong Ding from Lugu Township, Nantou County, the place with old tea culture and experience, as well as unique weather conditions that cause the tea leaves to accumulate large amounts of microelements, which is the reason why tea from Dong Ding Mountain has a very strong taste and a sweet aftertaste.

ORGANOLEPTICS
The tea has a bright, sweet, baked aroma. Honey, dried fruit, and nutty notes harmoniously flow into one another and create a whole symphony of aromas. When warmed, the aroma reveals itself in the amazing bakery universe. There are vanilla, citruses, berries, and dried herbs. Over time, the aroma develops into roasted pine nuts, caramel, and butter. After the rinsing, the aroma develops into floral, fruity perfume motifs with mineral overtones. Roasted seeds, lotus, and rice.

The taste is sweet, smooth, rich, and deep. Here, herbaceous, mineral notes end with baked motifs. Vanilla, cream, and wildflowers. A very fragrant, multifaceted taste that leaves a very powerful, long-lasting aftertaste. The creamy texture of the drink and the signature oily sensation in the mouth make this tea special and unique. As a high-quality wulong tea, a very sweet delicate soft vanilla sugar aroma remains in the empty bowl.
