How to Brew Dong Ding Loose Tea
Brewing Dong Ding Oolong is all about unlocking its roasted aroma and floral depth without overpowering the tea’s natural smoothness. Follow these steps for the perfect steep:
Use 3 grams of loose oolong tea for every 300 ml (10 oz) of water. This ratio keeps the brew balanced - rich in flavor but never too heavy.
Bring filtered water to 95°C (200°F). Don’t have a thermometer? Look for small bubbles forming on the bottom of your kettle right before boiling.
Pour a splash of hot water over the leaves, swirl, then discard. This wakes the leaves gently, helping the aroma bloom and flavor deepen.
Pour the hot water over your tea and steep for 3 minutes. For a lighter, more floral cup, go slightly shorter; for more roasted richness, extend the steep just a bit.
Once steeped, pour into your favorite cup and take in the aroma before sipping. Dong Ding is made for re-steeping - each infusion brings a new layer of flavor and calm.
Premium leaves, precise roasting, and the aroma that makes moments memorable.
