How to Brew Dong Ding Tea Bag
Brewing Dong Ding tea bags is all about capturing its roasted chestnut warmth while keeping the finish smooth and lightly floral. Follow these simple steps for a comforting cup every time:
Heat fresh, filtered water to 95°C (200°F), just before boiling. This brings out the tea’s toasted aroma without making it taste sharp.
Place 1 Dong Ding tea bag in your mug. Let it sit flat so the leaves infuse evenly for a smoother flavor.
Pour 300 ml of hot water over the tea bag. This amount keeps the cup balanced - nutty, mellow, and not too strong.
Steep for 3-4 minutes, then remove the tea bag. Go closer to 3 minutes for a lighter floral cup, or 4 minutes for deeper roasted warmth.
Premium leaves, precise roasting, and the aroma that makes moments memorable.
