Dong Pian means frozen petal and it’s unique kind of Taiwanese oolong.

Tea is produced after regular winter harvest – usually during last days of December or first part of January.

Our 2024 Dong Pian was made on 16th January, so it’s the first 2024 tea in our line-up.

To understand the Dong Pian phenomena  is a sudden rise in temperatures during the winter. The bushes wrongly “think” it’s a beginning of the spring and they starts to bud!

To make Dong Pian Oolong the buds and older leaves are used. Sometimes the buds are very very tiny.

Our Dong Pian is smooth, balanced and unroasted. You will find here unique notes of fresh green pea, asparagus, fresh grass, little bit of vegetal umami and creamy nuances that make the liquor texture more intriguing. Zero bitterness, zero astringency.

Highly recommended. Every tea lover should taste this unique Winter Sprout Oolong

Description

Origin: Shan Lin Xi Mountain, Nantou, Taiwan.
Harvest: 16th January 2024
Cultivar: Qing Xin

Temperature of water and amount of leaves: 95-100 C 5-6g/100ml.

Suggested brewing method: Yixing clay teapot or gaiwan of low capacity. First, you should pre-heat empty teapot/gaiwan and tea cups with boiling water. When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, gently pour the boiling water to the pot.  First infusion should be very short- not more than 40 second. Second infusion should be little bit shorter than first one cause the leaves are more open then. We suggest to increase brewing time for 5-10 seconds in third and each next brewing.
