This is what yancha strives to be, IMO. Best roasted oolong I’ve tried. A perfect tea for fall/winter.
Medium sweetness with no bitterness or astringency. Mouthfeel is toasty and smoky. Nice hui gan. Longevity is ~8 infusions.
Another great tea from Eco-cha! They are super impressive so far. Their price-to-quality ratio seems pretty insane too! Will be buying more of this come fall/winter.

High praise, I’ll have to check them out at some point.
I agree, dong ding is far more refined than yancha/wuyi oolongs.
You should! Loving their teas so far :).
And I think I agree based on my limited experience. Similar flavor profile but nothing harsh about it!
My husband discovered dong ding about a year ago and loves the stuff…I’ll have to add this variety to the Impossible to Shop For Spouse Gift List.
