XIXICHA Dongding Oolong Tea – High Mountain Taiwan Gaoshan Loose Leaf, 150g

XIXICHA Dongding Oolong Tea — High Mountain Taiwan Gaoshan Classic

From the green oolong harvest, the main raw material is typically 2-3 leaves plus a bud, carefully roasted and lightly fermented to about 30 percent. The leaves form a semi-spherical shape with a dark green, slightly oily glaze that hints at depth.

When brewed, this Dongding presents a distinctive profile: green leaves with red borders, a rich orchid aroma, and a mellow, sweet finish. The tea soup glows a warm golden color, carrying fruity and floral notes that invite another sip and linger on the palate.

From harvest to cup: craft you can taste

Spring tea is picked as dawn light touches the mountain. The leaves then undergo sunning, cool green processing, shaking, frying, rolling, initial baking, rebaking, and finishing steps. Each stage is performed with care to preserve character.

Whether you appreciate its visual elegance, its aromatic presence, or its balanced taste, the Dongding oolong offers a satisfying tea moment for enthusiasts and curious tasters alike. It remains a beloved choice among traditional Taiwanese teas.
