Our Fragrant Dong Ding is lightly oxidized and rolled in the style of high mountain oolong. It is harvested from the Qingxin cultivar near the Dong Ding area of Nantou county. Floral and young fruit tones with a distinctive sweet almond aroma. Light-medium bodied broth is zippy and refreshing. This tea feels a lot like high mountain oolong, just not as delicate or complex because the elevation isn't high enough. However we still think of it as our value high mountain oolong.
