Story of Dong Ding Oolong:

Dong Ding, meaning "Frozen Summit," is named after the mountain in Taiwan, where this tea was traditionally cultivated. Our collection of Dong Ding was picked and carefully made from Nantou country at an altitude of 700 meters. It has a rich history, dating back to the mid-19th century when a scholar brought tea plants from China's Wuyi Mountains to the region. The unique process of withering, oxidizing, rolling, and roasting the tea leaves gives it a delightful harmony of floral and creamy notes and a lingering, sweet aftertaste. The tea's production has since spread to other parts of Taiwan, but Dong Ding Oolong itself remains a cherished and revered tea.
