↑About Jade Oolong
Jade oolong usually refers to Dong Ding (Chinese 冻顶 or 凍頂) or Tung Ting, a greener style of oolong tea originating in Nantou, Taiwan. It is more oxidized than pouchong tea but less than amber oolong. The name "Dong Ding" means "frozen summit"; the tea is named after Dong Ding mountain in Nantou.Jade oolong leaves tend to be light green in color, and the brewed tea is clear, aromatic, and naturally sweet. Jade oolong tends to be among one of the most expensive teas. It has a distinctive aroma and although teas marketed as jade oolongs are widely variable in quality, they tend to be recognizable as the style. Its aroma could be described as similar to pouchong but less vegetal.
The term "jade oolong" is also sometimes used to refer to green Tie Guan Yin.

This is a really great tea, it has a complex aroma and flavor. This type of tea is normally expensive but this one is cheaper yet the taste is perfect. And of course, as you all know my biggest issue with teas is ones that are too astringent, and this tea was not astringent at all so it's perfect!

The dry tea smells fresh, mellow and pleasant. There's no hint of a roast. The...
I'm still struggling with tightly-rolled green oolongs, but when I do get this one right, it tastes amazing. It's extremely smooth and slightly sweetish. It has just a hint of something that reminds me of green tea. It's silky soft and a bit sweet when I get it right, but sour if I do it wrong (for example, if I use to...

I bought this tea before and remember it as lovely and flowery, but when I bought more of it later, it just... wasn't so great.
It looks nice with the tightly rolled balls of leaves. It's got a kind of metallic taste that I find a bit unpleasant. That could be the jasmine-like taste that the product description mentio...
Dong Ding Oolong traditional medium roast from Life in Teacup
Style: Jade Oolong – Region: Nantou, TaiwanNov. 16th, 2014
Well perhaps on the website this may be considered a mid-grade tea, but I was really impressed by it. I now know what a quality oolong is supposed to taste and smell like. It's rich both in aroma and flavor, and lasts very well through multiple infusions. Infact, I experimented on the third and fourth infusions: It was...
