Description

Dong Ding Light is one of the original oolongs, made in the mountains in the middle of Taiwan. There are two schools of production, and we like to offer both. This is one we have sourced over the years, and is a lightly roasted oolong with nice lemon and vegetal flavors.

Ingredients: Oolong tea.

 Details: Tea makers have cultivated Dong Ding around the town of Luku in the foothills of Taiwan's central mountain range since the mid-1800's. They adopted the production methods of their cousins in southern Fujian Province, and roll the large tea leaves into a ball. This traditional style is oxidized for a shorter time than the other Dong Ding.
 Dry Leaves: These dark green leaves are tightly rolled.
 Liquor: A light brown with slightly yellow hues.
 Aroma: Sweet with a mixture of gardenia and lemons.
 Flavors: Creamy, like lemon taffy, with underlying vegetal notes.
 Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
 Body: Medium-bodied. This tea may be brewed multiple times.
 Brewing Time: 4 to 5 minutes
 Brewing Temp: 205º
