Dong Ding is grown on the ridge at Lugu in Nantou and roasted slowly, a little at a time, until the rolled leaf darkens and sweetens.
The cup brings toasted nuts and caramel with a soft finish. It holds its shape over five infusions and goes well with a biscuit or a slice of cake.
At the counter
1
Rinse the pot and cups with hot water, then pour it away.
2
Use the leaf weight on the caddy. A level teaspoon holds about 3 g of most teas.
3
Pour off every drop so the leaf does not stew. Good tea gives a second and third cup.
