The mellow flavor of Taiwanese bug bitten oolong is always a pleasant way to start the day. (Dongfang Meiren, or Eastern Beauty, from Mud and Leaves.)

Brewing Taiwanese Dongfang Meiren (Eastern Beauty) from Mud and Leaves in a Japanese kyusu pot. Just for fun. Kyusu brewing does highlight the fragrance of the tea.

Thinking about it as I drink this AM, the 2021 Pinglin Natural Farming Shui Xian "Water Dragon" from Yunnan/Taiwan Sourcing really brews more like a Dancong Oolong than a typical Taiwanese Oolong.

Dongfang Meiren Cha, or Eastern Beauty Oolong Tea, is a Taiwanese bug bitten tea. A leafhopper called the "tea jassid" is prevalent in the areas where this tea is grown and actually encouraged on the tea plants used to produce the tea. The character of the tea itself is more similar to oxidized styles of Fujian White tea than to other Oolong tea. Dried stonefruit scent, light sweet flavor, and little to no bitterness or astringency even when pushed or overdosed. This is a summer 2020 Dongfang Meiren from Mud and Leaves.

2021 Pinglin Natural Farming Shui Xian "Water Dragon" from Taiwan/Yunnan Sourcing. This is a really interesting tea. Every steep shows a different character; sometimes fragrant, sometimes spicy, sometimes a little bitter, sometimes a little astringent. A little "naughty". For a Taiwan Oolong, it also has a surprising ability to continue steeping many times. I would be super interested to see how this tea aged.

"Daily Milan Dancong" from White2Tea, a reasonably priced Mi Lan (Honey Orchid) style oolong. Nothing fancy, but tasty and gets the day started.

Oolong Sunday, last full dose of this Dazuan Organic "Imperial Emerald Magpie" from Taiwan/Yunnan Sourcing. A pleasant and sophisticated cup.

I have yet to try a tea from Taiwan based company Eco-Cha Teas that I don't like and this Dong Ding Oolong is no exception. Pleasant roast level, good flavor, nice balance.

I've tried a few tea clubs and in terms of quality and quantity for the price, there are few better deals than the one from Eco-Cha Teas. On the other hand, if you drink anything other than their Taiwanese teas from the club, you might end up with a backlog. This is 2020 Dong Ding Oolong from the Eco-Cha Tea Club.

Oolong Sunday, 2021 Dazuan Organic "Imperial Emerald Magpie" from Taiwan/Yunnan Sourcing. Reluctant to reveal its charms, this is a lovely tea to savor over a long session on a slow Sunday.

Paguashan Wu Yi Natural Farming "Overlord" from Taiwan/Yunnan Sourcing. A bit sad to reach the end of this very nice Taiwanese Oolong tea, but onward!

Compressed Dancong Oolong isn't really a thing, unless you're crazy enough to make it so. 2018 Carbolic Soap (Huxley quote) from White2Tea.
