Tung Ting (Dong Ding)
Oolong from the famed Dong Ding Mountain (aka Frozen Summit) in Taiwan's Nantou County remains one of the country's most cherished tea offerings. The lightly oxidized, perfectly rolled leaves, grown at heights of just over 2,000 feet, present a light yellow liquor with sweet, honey notes & hints of pineapple. A highly aromatic, sophisticated cup affectionately referred to as Jade Prince here at SerendipiTea.
