Our website mainly purpose is to share information about tea and its health benefits. <br /><br />Considering we had recently tried Dong Ding tea and wrote a page about its health benefits, we thought it would be good to exchange some ideas about it, since we all love tea.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743478296111213581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-77717366383889635212012-08-31T23:55:45.652-07:002012-08-31T23:55:45.652-07:00Maria,

I absolutely love them.<br /><br />I've recently tried Dong Ding and was very pleased with its smooth flavor and peculiar fragrance and mostly with its health benefits. <br /><br />Since I don't drink coffee this tea gives me the energy push I need in the morning and it also helps me cope with my ulcer symptoms as it helps treat digestive disorders. What a wonderful tea!!!<br /><br />High mountain teas are simply amazing and Ali Shan tea is quite a treat as well! <br /><br />http://www.therighttea.com/dong-ding.html<br /><br />Speaking of it...I'll prepare myself a cup of Oolong tea and relax!<br /><br />Do you recommend other teas? I also enjoy drinking white teas.<br /><br /><br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743478296111213581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-39504305717273706572012-08-19T18:30:09.309-07:002012-08-19T18:30:09.309-07:00The reroasted stuff are a dime a dozen - they'...The reroasted stuff are a dime a dozen - they're easy to find and not at all rare. The unreroasted stuff are harder to acquire, and often come with a lot of problems, so a clean example of it is a rare thing.MarshalNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776398824139018801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-62527123967210447032012-08-19T16:21:24.953-07:002012-08-19T16:21:24.953-07:00Actually, Red Blossom seems to have a fairly ready...Actually, Red Blossom seems to have a fairly ready supply of aged TW oolongs, which seems fairly reasonably priced to me: http://www.redblossomtea.com/tea/rare-and-aged.htmlNick Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543497413262895759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-70519583097689240762012-08-19T16:19:09.468-07:002012-08-19T16:19:09.468-07:00"Who drinks lovely aged oolongs such as these..."Who drinks lovely aged oolongs such as these?"<br /><br />*Raises hand*<br /><br />As I think I've mentioned on your blog, I brought back a kilo of oolongs, both aged and not, from Taiwan, as these are pretty much what I was drinking every day while living there..they still make up at least half of my total tea intake.<br /><br />I have a 2001 Dong Ding and a 1987 Shan Lin Xi. I think it's hard to answer what the ideal aging for an oolong tea is. I can appreciate some characteristics of an 80s oolong that a 10 year old one doesn't have,but in some ways still prefer the 10 year one. Everything has its shelf life, but it can be hard determining what the optimal point of consumption is; depends a lot on storage, I think.<br />I don't necessarily agree that unroasted aged oolongs are superior to roasted aged oolongs--I'm sure I haven't drunken as many as MarshalN, but just enough that I wouldn't necessarily prefer one to the other without knowing other variables.Nick Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543497413262895759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-49517587657232415992012-08-19T09:11:54.977-07:002012-08-19T09:11:54.977-07:00Emmett-

Such oolongs should only be special occasion as it would be sad to get used to drinking them and not treasure their charms.<br /><br />I actually have old friends in Hong Kong but they don't drink tea seriously hence I don't want to risk asking them to buy tea for me.<br /><br />hhsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118616887446192686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-84988400044451411502012-08-19T09:08:02.934-07:002012-08-19T09:08:02.934-07:00You have now spoiled me with a fine example of an ...You have now spoiled me with a fine example of an aged oolong probably for which I cannot get a ready supply. More reason to hide this tea away for special occasions only. Actually I have firmly let the household know that a certain special box is strictly "hands off". hsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118616887446192686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-7449559157821240362012-08-19T01:55:18.586-07:002012-08-19T01:55:18.586-07:00This tea is almost certainly not re-roasted.

In fact, the best aged oolongs are not the re-roasted ones. <br /><br />I do drink this regularly, although since it's a very limited supply, "regularly" has to be pretty regulated.MarshalNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776398824139018801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21945233.post-38809249542273284672012-08-18T21:27:36.560-07:002012-08-18T21:27:36.560-07:00Aged oolongs are also my very special treat tea.

She got a full pound of it, for a very hefty price though. She has a good stash of aged oolongs hanging around and every now and then she shares a bit.
