Grown on the misty slopes of central Taiwan, Dong Ding is traditionally medium-to-heavily oxidized and roasted, a style that bridges the brightness of green oolong and the richness of darker teas. The rolling and repeated roasting coax sugars and aromatic oils to the surface of the leaf, creating depth without sacrificing clarity.
This craftsmanship produces a tea known for its balance: floral high notes layered over warm, baked sweetness. The roast transforms fresh leaf compounds into aromas reminiscent of caramel, toasted grain, and ripe stone fruit.
The first infusions are smooth and rounded, offering honey, roasted chestnut, and hints of orchid. With longer steeps, deeper flavors of brown sugar, baked pear, and gentle spice unfold, supported by a creamy mouthfeel and a lingering, comforting warmth.
