Taiwan Dongding Oolong (Dark)

Oolong Tea by Indigo Tea Company

Dark, smooth flavor with a nice peach finish, similar to Ti Kwan Yin or our Organic Formosa Oolong. Unusual for Taiwan, where lighter, flowery oolongs are popular. Dark fired, rich taste.

Brewed gongfu style in my oolong yixing pot which yielded lots of yummy infusions of tea. Finally a nice traditional style darker oolong that is more brown than green. Has a nice smooth richness that is sweet with a medium roasted taste that is not at all overpowering with lingering fruity notes. This is the best “Ti Kwan Yin style” oolong that I’ve come across in some time and one that I highly recommend if you like darker oolongs.

1st steep, 3min. This is one of my favorite teas. It is very smooth.

2nd steep. Much less of an astringent taste, but I think I enjoy the robust flavor of the first steep more. This was a little bit too soft in flavor for my liking.
