The secret of deliciousness comes from the mountain

If you have ever been to Dong Ding mountain, you will realized that it is a relatively small tea production area. So, not to be surprised that most of Dong Ding oolong tea in Taiwan is made from "other area besides Dong Ding". There are many tea plantations at lower altitude in Nantou and surrounding county, and those teas are sold as Dong Ding oolong at lower price. Tea has a decent fragrant too, and many people may not be able to differentiate it from the oolong from Dong Ding Mountain. The main different is the finishing or aftertaste, Dong Ding oolong from the mountain has more lingering finishing down the throat compared to lower altitude regions of oolong tea. HOJO's Dong Ding oolong tea is made from tea cultivated in Dong Ding, and it is the first-plucked spring tea, which is considered to be the highest quality among Dong Ding Oolong. It is very rare and therefore the price is a little high.
