A representative brand of oolong tea from Taiwan. It is characterized by a deep aroma and a mellow taste. While oolong tea is a dark brown color, Dong Ding Oolong Tea is a yellow-green color close to green tea. As the fermentation level increases, you can enjoy a floral and deep aroma and sweetness reminiscent of fruit.

The balance with gentle umami is exquisite, resulting in a refined flavor profile with an appropriate body feel. The name 'Four Seasons Spring' is also the name of the variety, which began cultivation in the 1980s and can be harvested 6 to 8 times a year. It has a high adaptability to the environment and is considered one of Taiwan's four major varieties.

The term 'Qingxiang' in the tea name refers to a refreshing aroma. This Tieguanyin has a very elegant and refreshing floral scent due to the extremely modest roasting applied during the finishing process. It has a crisp mouthfeel, and the clean umami provides a moderate thickness that fills the mouth.

"Jin Xuan" is the name of the tea leaf variety. It is characterized by a sweet aroma reminiscent of milk, known as "milk fragrance." The smooth "milk fragrance" is closer to "sweet fragrance," which allows the refreshing quality of the "high mountain air" to take precedence in the final product.

Despite having an undeniably maximum personality in flavor, it does not have a smoky sensation that clings to the nose, and one might be captivated by its unique sweetness and silky texture. This tea is considered the ancestor of black tea, and with traditional production methods being rare today, please experience the essence of this carefully crafted tea.

The name 'Ear Ring' comes from the appearance of the tea leaves, which are curled into a ring shape and have a champagne gold color. Only the buds and young leaves of a variety known for its abundant fine hairs, called 'Bai Hao', are used. The tea is produced using a 'white tea' method that involves resting and drying, and the process of infusing the fragrance of fresh jasmine flowers is repeated about 10 times to complete the tea.

Presented as a souvenir from Asia to Queen Victoria of the British Empire, it was named 'Oriental Beauty.' This tea is extremely rare and has a relatively high fermentation level, resulting in a clear orange color similar to black tea. It has no astringency and features a rich, sweet aroma reminiscent of fruits and honey.

A black tea made using Shizuoka-grown tea leaves, incorporating the method of smoking during the production process. It was inspired by the tea-making method known as Zhengshan Xiaozhong, or Lapsang Souchong, from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province, China, which is said to be the origin of black tea production.
