Kari’s Teaview Snapshot
 | "The taste was mild and smooth - like green tea - with no astringency to speak of, and a hint of nuttiness."

Ding Dong refers more to a method of oxidation and less to a place (or to a person.) Its one of the most famous oolongs from Taiwan. It has more of a classic green tea aroma, kind of grassy and popcorn-like. The taste was mild and smooth - also like green tea - with no astringency to speak of. I could taste a small amount of nuttiness in the background that added to the green tea feelThe 2nd infusion tasted fuller and had a bite that was almost spicy. I could see where they might find a roasted chestnut flavor, but I found it more like the plain popcorn flavor from before. The second flush was definitely more like an oolong than a green. The difference between the steepings was very distinctive and makes this an interesting tea to drink.
