Description

Our Organic Dongding (also called Tung-ting) comes from Minjiang, Nantou region, Central Taiwan.

The medium oxidized (around 30%), unroasted Dongding makes a fragrant cup with light liquor that has clean aroma and taste. The cultivar used in making this tea is Cui Yu (Kingfisher Jade) which is considered to have a more floral character than its parent, Qingxing.

There are some interesting notes in this tea. It has some floral, some fruitiness and bit of steamed spinach. It has a lovely sweetness, almost the kind found in tart fruits like tamarind. It brought the cup alive on the palate in a most pleasing manner.

This tea can be resteeped 3-4 times.
