1987 Dong Ding Oolong
Very limited supply of this special Oolong
Nearly four decades of quiet transformation.
This rare, aged Oolong from Dong Ding mountain carries the gentle wisdom of time. Originally baked with charcoal in the traditional style, its roasted notes have long mellowed into a deep, smooth cup with whispers of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a rich herbal aroma.
The liquor is clear, sweet, and silken—free from the sharp edges of youth. What once was bright and tannic has softened, offering a rounder, more contemplative brew. As it continues to age, it will keep evolving—layer by layer, year by year.
Dong Ding Oolong is one of the original blueprints of Taiwanese oolong tea, crafted with high oxidation and the older rolling methods of its time. You’ll notice the leaves remain semi-ball shaped or even slightly twisted, a quiet nod to its traditional roots.
A beautiful tea for those who appreciate patience, subtlety, and the gifts of slow aging.
