Hi Michael,
Thanks for the comment. Hope you like it! I think it is an excellent example of a clean, unreroasted and well-aged oolong.
Cheers!

What is the roast level on this tea? Given its age, I would imagine it to be quite high.
Thanks.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the comment. As with many aged oolongs, it is very difficult to say its exact roasting level. At this stage, you can’t taste much of the roast at all.
If I would venture to guess, I’d probably guess mid or high-fired. The older style of Dong Ding was to conduct a roast for a longer period of time at a lower overall temperature.
Cheers!
