Real gem from winter harvest in Dong Ding. Directly from the Mr. Chen’s garden. 

This is one of the most subtle and delicate Dong Ding oolongs in our offer.

The unique characteristic of this tea is that it was processed with quite high oxidation. This was done to build rich taste profile. Skillful and gentle (low temperature) charcoal roasting makes this tea so special.

Its’ very fresh and fruity-floral with amazing round nutty and buttery notes. Peaches and cream with hints of pineapple. And tons of amazing sweetness – both in taste and aroma!

You will find here also notes of honey and gently roasted cereals and some interesting “herbal grassiness”.

You can feel it’s so fresh and vivid but also deep and multilayered because of charcoal roasting made that way.

Aftertaste is sweet, honey like and long-lasting.
