Dong ding is one of the most popular Taiwanese oolong teas and a classic for good reason - it's a tea that retains the mellow green flavors of a high-mountain oolong along with rich, sweet notes due to oxidation and roasting. It’s well-balanced and makes a perfect tea to enjoy throughout the day.

This tea gets its name from the mountain it hails from, Dong Ding Shan (Dong Ding mountain). Dong Ding translates to ‘frozen summit’ or ‘icy peak’. It doesn’t get this name because it’s particularly icy (it’s not that high as far as Taiwanese mountains go, at 800-1000 meters), but because it has the tendency for heavy rains, which caused farmers to carefully navigate slippery roads while working on the mountain. The weather conditions on Dong Ding proved to be perfect for growing tea, with its sunny days and misty afternoons. 

Since Dong Ding comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, it contains caffeine (as do all pure teas). Because this tea is rolled into a ball shape, the caffeine infuses slowly into the brew as the leaves unfurl.


Brewing Guidelines: 1-2 min - 100 °C - 6g per 237ml
