Dong Ding Oolong Tea is a fairly renowned type of Taiwanese oolong that has changed a lot from its inception in the 1980s to today. When this tea began to conquer the market about forty years ago, in fact, it had a high oxidation and underwent a very intense cooking process that made the leaf appear a dark brown color like that of a red tea. Nowadays, even though it comes from the same area of Taiwan around Mount Lugu, this product is usually oxidized and roasted less because the general taste nowadays prefers a less smoky and tannic character in oolongs. As for the flavors of this new Dong Ding, in our selection we tried to focus a little more on cooking to obtain a deeper taste. In particular, during the tasting, you will notice the nuances of woody flavor and, only in the background, some vegetal notes characterized by a dark and balsamic tone.
