Tung Ting

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.

The luminous amber color and light honey and ash aftertaste linger through many infusions; note how the roasted fragrance builds as the leaves open.
