DONG DING OOLONG | TUNG TING | OOLONG | WULONG

Dong Ding Oolong, also known as 'Tung Ting' or 'Frozen Summit,' is a premium oolong tea cultivated on the renowned Dong Ding Mountain at elevations between 700 and 1000 meters. The climate of this region is perfect for growing a highly aromatic oolong tea, distinguished by its sharp floral notes and a lingering smooth, sweet finish.

Oolong tea is referred to as a semi-oxidised tea and falls in the category between a fully oxidised black tea and non-oxidised green tea. The oxidisation levels in oolong can vary between 10-80% based on the production style. Less oxidised oolongs lean closer to green tea flavour and the higher oxidised closer to a black tea. Dong Ding Oolong undergoes 30% oxidation.

How to prepare:

There is no set rule for brewing tea because each tea type is different.

This is a rough guide to get you started. Please experiment to find your ideal steeping time based on your personal taste.

Before preparing any type of tea always warm the teapot and teacups by rinsing it with hot water.

Put 3 g of tea in the preheated tea pot and add water at 100°C and rinse the tea before preparing the first infusion so the leaves are clean and soft for brewing.

For the first infusion, pour water at 100°C over the tea leaves and let it steep for 3-5 minutes.

When brewing in a tea pot please pour the tea out in cups until the last drop to avoid over steeping the tea left in the teapot as this will result in a unpleasant and bitter flavour.

Don’t throw out your tea leaves after your first cup of tea. The same tea leaves can be steeped up to 3-4 times. Discover the nuances of tea with every infusion.

Use the same temperature of water for the next few infusions and experiment with the steeping time 30s,1 min or even longer.
