Taiwan Oolong Tea Dong Ding - character and origin from Nantou
Taiwan Oolong Tea Dong Ding is a traditional oolong tea from Nantou, Taiwan. Dong Ding, also known as Tung Ting, is one of the best-known Taiwanese oolong teas and is characterized by its rolled leaves and warm, aromatic character.
The flavor profile is roasted and nutty, with a full-bodied and smooth taste. The traditional roasting brings out warm, nutty nuances, while subtle floral notes add refinement and a long, pleasant finish.
Dong Ding is closely connected to the tea tradition of Nantou in central Taiwan. The combination of partial oxidation, rolling the leaves and subsequent roasting gives this oolong its characteristic deep and layered flavor.
