Dong Ding Oolong

Oolong Tea by driftwood tea

Filled with complex sweet fruity flavours, a natural creaminess, and a long lasting aftertaste our handmade Dong Ding Oolong is an excellent example of one of Taiwan’s most famous teas.

Grown on the slopes of Dong Ding Mountain in Taiwan’s Nantou County, tea bushes here are protected from the strongest of the afternoon sun with a veil of cooling mountain mist. We believe there are few better teas than those of the high mountain Taiwanese variety that truly allow you to imagine and taste the land, or as the French say terroir, in which the tea was grown.

Key Flavours – lightly toasted caramelised nuts, sweet soft stone fruits and hints of cream.

Probably my favourite tea- always able to get three steeps out of it (2nd being the best)!! Steep 2.5g in 95deg water for 2mins then 4, then 6 for best results.

I love Taiwanese teas and this is a great example of one of the country’s best. Full of fruity, creamy notes with just a hint of biscuity toastiness this is a really delicious tea and one I will always make sure to have in the cupboard!
