Experience the authentic taste of Formosa Dung Ting Oolong Tea, a premium Taiwanese Oolong celebrated for its unique flavour profile and rich heritage. The name "Dung Ting" translates to "Frozen Summit" or "Icy Peak," referring to the cool, misty conditions of Dong Ding Mountain in Nantou County, Taiwan, where this tea has been traditionally cultivated for centuries.

This semi-oxidised tea represents the perfect balance between the freshness of green tea and the richness of black tea and is considered one of the most iconic Oolong teas from Taiwan.

  • Steep for 2-3 minutes according to taste.
  • Reuse the leaves a further 3 times, by simply adding more hot water.
