Let this tea gently summon you to a meditative state.  It’s buttery, toasted almond character will still your scattered thoughts.  Find a moment’s peace in the simple ritual of brewing tea.

This tea is known as Dong Ding, Tung Ting, or Frozen Peak, after the mountain where it is grown.  While not at the breathtaking elevations of ‘high mountain oolong’, the clear air of the slippery peaks of Dong Ding delivers the simple pleasure of Taiwan oolong.  Most versions of Dong Ding tea carry a bold roast, but our Cup of Zen is unoxidized and unroasted, offering a clear, bright brew and floral fragrance.

Take shelter from the storm outside, or the storm within, in the mountain passes of Dong Ding.
