MODERNOIKOS Roasted Dong Ding Oolong Tea Loose Leaf 5.3oz — Taiwanese single-origin, medium roast, honey-osmanthus notes

MODERNOIKOS Roasted Dong Ding is a single-origin Taiwanese loose-leaf oolong that delivers golden-amber cups with honeyed, osmanthus, and toasted-nut notes.

Harvested on a single Nantou farm and carefully charcoal-roasted, this Dong Ding (Dongding) oolong arrives as whole, unfurled leaves—150 grams (5.3 oz) per box—so you can steep multiple sessions the traditional way or use the included natural empty tea bags for an easy single-cup brew. The leaves are from the Qing Xin Green Heart cultivar and are roasted to a medium level with roughly 25–35% oxidation, yielding a smooth, low-bitterness profile ideal for sipping hot or cold.

How many cups will I get from one 150g tin of MODERNOIKOS Dong Ding?

Because these are whole leaves, they re-steep very well. If you brew the leaves gongfu-style with small infusions, expect about 80–100 short steepings; using larger Western-style infusions yields fewer sessions but larger cups.

• Traditional gongfu re-steeps: roughly 90 cups total across multiple infusions
• Western-style large cups using included filter bags: around 25–30 generous servings
• Cold-steep batches last several days refrigerated

What flavor profile and oxidation/roast should I expect?

This Dong Ding is medium-roasted and moderately oxidized to highlight floral sweetness while adding toasty warmth. The result is a clear, golden liquor with honeyed and osmanthus-like aroma and a gentle toasted-nut aftertaste without harsh bitterness.

• Oxidation level: about 25–35% to balance freshness and body
• Roast style: charcoal-inspired medium roast for warm, baked notes
• Tasting highlights: honey, osmanthus floral notes, toasted nuts

How should I brew MODERNOIKOS Roasted Dong Ding for best results?

Follow the printed guide included in every box for two simple approaches: traditional gongfu brewing to unlock multiple short infusions, or the convenient method using one of the supplied natural empty tea bags. Temperature and timing are important to draw out the tea’s balanced sweetness and smooth finish.

• Hot brew: 195°F (about 90–91°C) for roughly 3 minutes for a classic cup
• Cold steep: refrigerate 8–12 hours for a clean, iced oolong
• Easy option: fill an oversized 8×10 cm empty tea bag and steep like a regular teabag

What comes in the box and where is it sourced from?

Each box contains 150 g (5.3 oz) of whole-leaf Dong Ding oolong and 20 natural, oversized empty tea bags so you can steep loose leaf without extra equipment. The tea is single-origin from Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan, from a farm with roots going back to 1948.

• 150 g (5.3 oz) whole-leaf roasted Dong Ding oolong, no dust, no blends
• 20 natural empty 8×10 cm tea bags included, drawstring-free and disposable
