Dong Ding oolong

Dong Ding is a medium-roasted oolong from Lugu township in Nantou, Taiwan. The name means "Frozen Summit" — it's named after the mountain where this style of tea was first grown in the mid-1800s, when a scholar brought tea cuttings from Fujian's Wuyi Mountains. Our Dong Ding comes from 700 metres altitude and has the nutty, roasted character this tea is known for, with a natural sugarcane sweetness and a clean, lingering finish.

Dong Ding sits in the middle ground between Taiwan's lighter high mountain oolongs and China's heavier Wuyi rock teas (like Big Red Robe). It's roasted enough to have warmth and body, but still has that Taiwanese smoothness. If you like your tea with a bit of toasty character but don't want anything too heavy, this is a good fit.

How to brew

Gongfu style (recommended): Use 6g in a 120ml gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Boiling water (100°C). Steep for 15 seconds for the first 4 infusions, then add 10 seconds from the fifth. Good for up to 8 rounds — the roasted notes give way to something sweeter in later steeps. A round-bellied or taller Yixing pot works well here, as the extra height helps the floral aroma develop.

Western style: Use 2g per 250ml teapot with boiling water. Steep for 3 minutes. Good for up to 3 infusions.

Tip: If you have a taller cup, use it for Dong Ding — it captures the floral aroma so you can enjoy the scent before each sip. The aroma is half the experience with this one.

Joanne's note

Dong Ding is one of the teas that got me interested in gongfu brewing. The way the flavour shifts from roasty and nutty in the early steeps to sweet and almost caramel-like by the sixth or seventh — that's what makes oolong tea so interesting to me. One of our customers, told us Dong Ding has become his go-to tea during long working hours — he brews it in a gaiwan at his clinic and says it brightens his mind and helps him focus. I thought that was a good description of what this tea does.

We also hear from customers who are trying Dong Ding for the first time and notice the seaweed-like aroma with floral notes they weren't expecting. It surprises people — it's lighter and more refreshing than it looks. Our current batch is from the autumn 2025 harvest and it's drinking really well. If you're curious about oolong but not sure where to start, Dong Ding is a forgiving tea that's hard to brew badly. Available at our Salamanca Tea Bar — come try before you buy.

Best Plates Ive ever known!
Style: 10 Inch, Size: 172 Count (Pack of 1), Style: 10 Inch, Size: 172 Count (Pack of 1)
If you’re tired of the "double-plate shimmy" where you have to stack two flimsy plates just to survive a barbecue, the Dixie Ultra 10-Inch Plates are a total game-changer. This 172-count bulk pack is the gold standard for anyone who actually likes to pile on the food. Why They’re Worth It: True Strength: The "3X Stronger" claim isn't just marketing fluff. These can handle a massive helping of steak, potato salad, and corn on the cob without folding under pressure. Soak-Proof Shield: They feature a high-quality coating that keeps grease and sauces from leaking through to your lap or your table. Microwave Safe: Unlike some cheaper alternatives, these don't get soggy or "wilt" when you're reheating leftovers. Value Size: Getting 172 plates (divided into 4 convenient packs) means you're set for multiple parties, holidays, or just those nights when you really don't want to do the dishes. Bottom Line: These are the "heavy lifters" of the paper plate world. They’re large enough for a full dinner and tough enough to handle the messiest meals. Highly recommended for anyone who values durability over price-point flimsy alternatives.

Very sturdy
Style: 10 Inch, Size: 172 Count (Pack of 1)
When we go camping, we use these Dixie plates a lot. They’re very sturdy and the cleanup is easy Peezy. The design is bright and cheerful are easy to use. It’s the great size for dinner plates and they also have smaller size plates as well as bowls. They’re very durable and we’ll hold up on heavy foods. We always keep a good supply on hand because when you’re on vacation, you don’t want to wash the dishes. They are great you’re using them and you throw them away or you can burn them.
