Formosa Winter Special Lu Gu DONG DING JIN XUAN Imperial Oolong 50g
An excellent grade of the famous Taiwanese oolong from the renowned Dong Ding mountain range, made from the Jin Xuan cultivar and processed using traditional methods.
A mildly fermented, high-quality leaf, traditionally rolled into larger balls and only very lightly roasted.
The infusion is excellent, full-bodied, balanced, complex, fresh, with a fruity sweetness without astringency, with an exotic spicy component and lightly roasted tones with a hint of resin, and an excellent aftertaste.
The tea comes in its original 50g packaging.
Preparation tip: pour 6-8 grams of tea into a warm teapot, pour 0.3 liters of water at a temperature of about 85°C (you can try cooler or warmer), steep for 60-150 seconds, can be re-steeped. This tea is also very suitable for gong fu preparation.
NOTE: the free sample weights 5g.
The Dong Ding mountain range in Lu Gu County is one of the oldest tea-growing areas in Taiwan. Despite its relatively low altitude (700-800 m), its name literally means "Frozen Peak." In the early days of tea cultivation, local farmers did not wear shoes, and during the spring harvest, the mountain peak was usually still covered with snow.
Currently, the name Dong Ding (Dung Ti) is also used to refer to teas from other areas that are processed in the same way as oolongs from the Dong Ding mountain range. This is characterized primarily by a higher degree of roasting, which gives the tea deeper, more pronounced spicy or fruity tones, depending on the length of the process. For this tea, this step was performed twice, for a total of 12 hours, with the tea having to rest for 3 to 4 days between steps. |
