This tea is the successor of our very popular “Master Dong Ding Oolong” from 2014. Unlike most of the “Dong Ding” tea that has the name “Dong Ding” but not using the local material, the material of this tea, like our “Bug Bitten Jade Dong Ding” this season, has its material from the actual “Dong Ding.” And this season’s result is a surprise to us.

This classical Dong Ding requires two key ingredients. First of all the material must be pure Qing Xin Oolong from Lu Gu which is expertly processed with a perfect balance of oxidation. The second key (most important) for classical Dong Ding is to roast it with the perfect degree of fire (火), creating a synergy between roasting and oxidation that enlivens the palette of the drinker. Our master of this tea is an expert at picking proper material and giving it a perfect roast. This season’s perfect result is his year long experience and patient work.

For most of the medium roasted Oolongs it is always recommended to drink it a few hours or days after the bag has been opened to let the roasted (火) taste mellow out. Roasted oolongs such as this can be stored in clay jars or other semi-tight containers for optimum aging. We are very happy for the return of this tea, so let’s enjoy!
