Tung Ting Sample

Try a small size—about three servings—of our Tung Ting oolong tea. Click here to order regular retail sizes.

This oolong is grown at around 4,000 feet, on Big Wheel Mountain in the Shan Lin Xi region of Taiwan, by an award-winning family of tea producers. The large, hand-picked leaves are medium-oxidized, in the classic Tung Ting style, and finished with a few rounds of traditional charcoal roasting. When infused, the tightly rolled balls unfurl with a mouthwatering aromas of roasted peach and juniper; the well-structured flavor is positioned equally between a green and black tea, with a smooth, silky mouthfeel.

A luminous amber color and pleasant aftertaste linger through many infusions; note how the roasted fragrance grows as the leaves open.
