What are the β€œroots” of Rooteas?

Rooteas tea making skills

Family-made

Our teas all come from tea-making families. Some are made by our own family, and others are crafted by families we've known and trusted for years. Not from an unknown source, but from real people and family producers whose craft we trust and have seen in person.

Rooteas family tea farm

Single-origin

It means you can actually taste where the tea comes from. It stays true to its own place, so the local soil, rocks, and climate all come through in the cup. With Wuyi rock oolong, you get that clear rock rhythm (Yan Yun) and a deep, lingering fragrance that only those rocky slopes can give. When you drink it, you're not just having a cup of tea, you're getting a small snapshot of that landscape.

The Secret of β€œDong Ding”

Dong Ding Mountain located within Lugu Township in Nantou County Taiwan supplies the primary source for Dong Ding Oolong tea. Dong Ding Mountain rises to 700 meters within the Fenghuang Mountain range.

Tea farmers in Dong Ding Mountain need to walk carefully on icy paths that led to rainy trails becauseΒ β€œdong" means β€œfreeze"Β in Chinese. The nameΒ β€œFrozen Summit Mountain” originates from Dong Ding Mountain's high elevation. The mountain is underlaid by exceptional soil which fosters dense forest growth. The Qingxin Oolong tea trees grow well in this particular area. Dong Ding Mountain possesses perfect conditions needed to cultivate premium Dong Ding Oolong tea.

Making Dong Ding Oolong tea needs thorough monitoring throughout each stage of production. The procedure starts with picking leaves from high-grade tea cultivars likeΒ Qingxin Oolong. After sun-withering and indoor-withering leaves move through shaking and pan-firing before entering the rolling and initial drying stages. The creation of traditional tea balls involves tea makers who must repeatedly roll and shape the leaves into tight forms multiple times. The tea preparation process concludes with one more drying stage and subsequentΒ roasting. A special production procedure creates Dong Ding Oolong's unique appearance and flavor profile.

Once processed, the tea leaves develop into dark green strands featuring tight coils and emitting a soft glow. The resulting brew takes on a color that resembles honey. The tea presents a fresh floral smell while the flavor profile combines sweetness withΒ creamy and toastedΒ notes. The brewed tea displays leaves with a striking yellow-green hue.
