Taiwanese oolong, medium roast
Huangjin Dong Ding, 2026
Weight
Dong Ding, or Frozen Peak oolong, is one of the most famous Taiwanese oolongs, widely considered a classic of Taiwanese tea culture.
This Dong Ding features a light roast (30%). This degree of roasting seeks a balance between the freshness of the leaf and warm roasted notes. A fragrant roasted layer develops on the surface of the rolled leaf, while the fresh green core is preserved inside.
The dry tea greets you with aromas of roasted nuts, distinct almond, flowers, and a note of caramel popcorn. These descriptors carry over into the flavor during the first infusions. As the tea session progresses and the leaves unfurl, crisp green freshness comes to the forefront, revealing an orchid aroma and a floral, buttery taste, leaving the nutty and popcorn notes as a subtle accompaniment.
