CHARCOAL BAKED DONG DING (COMPETITION GRADE)
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. Being a traditional style of tea, it has gone through a lengthy and complex roasting process to create a tea that offers the perfect balance between fresh floral and roasted creamy notes. It went through the charcoal roasting process five times, with one roast taking over 12 hours. In total, the tea spent more than 60 hours on hot charcoal.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Beautiful glossy, carefully rolled into dark brown ball-shaped tea leaves. Dry tea leaves have a deep sweet, floral, baked fragrance. Gentle hints on nori and wood, roasted chestnuts, and seeds. Warmed tea leaves have creamy, milky, salted caramel notes. After rinsing aroma develops into mineral, woody, nutty notes and it keeps changing with every new infusion playing with its multifaceted flavour. The taste is sweet and salty with mineral, spicy, bakery notes. Very powerful and strong tea with a long-lasting aftertaste. Great sensation in the mouth with mineral on the tip of the tongue! Every new infusion is a completely different story. A real 'Gongfu' tea that deserves special attention and care. Inside the aroma cup, you will find sugary sweet, honey, vanilla fragrance.
