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

This is one of the most rounded and balanced Dong Ding oolongs in our offer…We can’t say it’s light or strong roasted. It’s perfectly in between.

The unique characteristic of this tea is that it was processed with light-medium oxidation. This was done to keep the fresh notes alive. Skillful and gentle (low temperature) charcoal roasting makes this tea so special.

So you will find here pleasant flowery notes but first of all it displays amazing Gui Fei like sweet honey scent mixed with fruity aromas of stone fruits (peaches).

Notes of wood and incenses are here too, but rather on the background of the taste palette.

Sweet, buttery, nutty…with excellent sugary aftertaste!

Highly recommended for Dong Ding oolong lovers!
