This Dong Ding Oolong is a tea steeped in history, its name derived from the legendary peak where it grows. While many believe "Dong Ding" to be a brand, it is in fact the name of a mountain in Lugu, Nantou. Its name has a fascinating origin in the local Taiwanese dialect: "Dong" (凍) refers to the verb for raking the soil with one's toes, while "Ding" (頂) means mountain peak. This name came from the treacherous, slippery paths of the mountain; farmers had to rely on their toes to grip the soil, moving step by step to reach the top. This unique terroir has made it the birthplace and a classic symbol of Taiwanese oolong tea.
A benchmark for quality, Dong Ding Oolong's defining features include a mellow, full-bodied mouthfeel, excellent durability for multiple infusions, and a rich, long-lasting aftertaste. The creation of this tea is a complex, time-honored process, requiring a meticulous chain of steps: picking, withering, tossing, pan-firing, rolling, and packaging. Each stage demands exceptional skill and unwavering care from the tea master, a testament to the artisan's dedication. When brewed, the tea liquor is a brilliantly clear golden yellow, releasing a pure, clean aroma.

- Aroma: Elegant floral notes (osmanthus, lily)

The story of Formosa Brew's Mango Oolong begins in Taiwan, a land where the refreshing elegance of oolong tea and the luscious sweetness of mangoes each have their own rich history.
The mango, a fruit that traveled across the sea from Southeast Asia in the 16th century, has found its second home here. Thanks to the dedication and advanced techniques of Taiwanese farmers, the island now boasts nearly 20 different mango varieties, a diversity unmatched anywhere else in the world.
We at Formosa Brew have created something truly special. Using a traditional scenting method, we infuse our high-quality oolong with natural mango essence.
The result is a cup of tea where the delicate fragrance of oolong and the vibrant sweetness of mango are released in perfect harmony with every sip. It's more than just a drink; it's a sensory journey that connects you to the history and vibrant culture of Taiwan.
Flavor Note
- Aroma: Tropical and sweet, with prominent notes of ripe mango and a hint of fruity-floral undertones.
- Taste: Smooth and mellow, a perfect blend of rich mango sweetness and the delicate, slightly nutty flavor of oolong tea.
- Finish: A clean, refreshing finish that is crisp and invigorating, leaving a delightful and lingering aftertaste of mango.

Lychee Flavored Oolong
Origin: Lugu, Nantou, Taiwan
Altitude: 900–1100 meters Oxidation: 15-30%
Cultivar: Qing Xin Oolong (青心烏龍)
Harvest: Spring 2025
The story of Formosa Brew's Lychee Oolong begins in Taiwan, a land renowned for its exceptional oolong tea and, during a fleeting summer season, its succulent lychees. The ancient poet Su Shi once wrote that eating 300 lychees a day makes him "a permanent southerner," a testament to their irresistible allure. In Taiwan, a land blessed with the perfect climate, the lychee fruit embodies the vibrant energy of summer.
We at Formosa Brew have captured this ephemeral moment. We use a traditional scenting method to infuse our finest oolong with the natural essence of lychees, harvested at the peak of their ripeness. The result is a cup of tea where the delicate, floral sweetness of the lychee dances in perfect harmony with the smooth, mellow body of our high-mountain oolong. It is a unique sensory journey that celebrates the brief but beautiful encounter between a classic tea and a beloved summer fruit.
As the sole provider of this exceptional Mango Oolong blend in Europe, we invite you to experience this unique taste of our homeland.
