Oolong tea · low oxidation · medium roast
Frozen Summit, or Dong Ding Oolong, is an everyday roasted oolong tea.
This classic Taiwanese oolong tea has distinct charcoal roasted flavor with leaves that are shaped into tightly rolled beads. Our dong ding oolong is made by Mr. Lin, who insists that the tea be brewed in a clay pot, preferably a Yixing, to deepen the aroma.
The name of this tea comes from the snow-peaked mountain where it was grown. It is among the best-known oolongs in Taiwan. With a gentle roast, this medium-bodied tea has comforting notes of buckwheat and caramel that linger on the palate.
The literal translation for Dong Ding is Frozen Summit.
