Medium-fermented oolong with a semi-ball shape, grown and produced in the Lu Gu tea region.
This tea is the origin of almost all Taiwanese oolong traditions, initially produced on a mountain peak in Nantou. It earned the name "Oolong from Frosty Peak." The processing technique arrived on the island with refugees from Fujian Province (China) in the mid-1960s. Some aspects of the technique became central to Taiwanese tea traditions. Today, tea named "Dong Ding" is made throughout Taiwan, and this name has come to signify the processing method rather than the region.
Aroma: Roasted, honeyed, with hints of flowers, fruits, and spices.
Flavor: Soft, sweet-creamy, complex, with nutty, pastry, and floral notes. Juicy, refreshing aftertaste.
Effect: Intoxicating, relaxing, meditative.
Harvest: 2024, Taiwan.
Brewing: Use quick infusions. Preheat your vessel—be it a thin-walled porcelain gaiwan or a resonant Yixing teapot. Use 5 grams of tea leaves for 100 ml of water. Use boiling water to fully reveal the potential of Taiwanese oolong. Don't miss the chance to enjoy the amazing, delicate, and nuanced aroma of the tea whenever possible.

im very satisfied with the cup, 😊 thanks
I bought Rou Gui Gao Shan at Tea Gallery, and it pleasantly surprised me with how it evolves over multiple infusions. By the third brew, the aroma becomes fuller and deeper, revealing a rich body with gentle sweetness, subtle berry notes, and light woody undertones. The classic Rou Gui profile—often associated with cinnamon-like spice, warm minerality, and a distinctive “rock” character (yan yun)—is present here as well, but in a smooth and well-balanced way. The aftertaste is long, with a refined balance between warmth and freshness. It’s the kind of tea that truly shines over extended sessions—perfect for long, relaxed evenings in good company.
This tea is honestly GOATed. We call it "endless / infinite tea", just because of HOW MUCH you can extract from it... With the right conditions and not too hot of a water, we've been genuinely drinking it for hours, and I feel like we never fully finished it... definitely worth it's money
Прекрасный чай. Всем советую заглянуть в этот магазинчик.
Bought it as a gift to my dear friend, and he’s now the happiest man on earth. He rates it as “10 out of 5” and “every day I use it, and every day I’m happy”
Genuinely one of the best red teas I’ve ever tried. The texture, the aroma and the flavour is just outstanding. It is visually pleasing, lasts for many infusions, and a bit expensive
Очень приятный вкус, тонкий аромат, мягкое расслабление без сонливости
