Rich and round — a warm memory distilled through time and craft.

The liquor pours bright amber, smooth and thick, followed by the signature "Dong Ding throat" — bold, then endlessly sweet. Steady and long-brewing, a grounding classic.

Summer sun gives leaves intense character, often too bitter for oolong. So we transform summer harvest into fully fermented black tea instead, turning bitterness into rich sweetness. This Alishan small-leaf variety carries natural delicacy, picked tender at peak ripeness to preserve pectin and sweetness. The cup is smooth and sweet, layered with floral notes, citrus, and lychee — never bitter. Ages beautifully, slowly developing woody, chestnut notes over time.
