Tung Ting is Taiwan's most famous semiball-rolled style tea. Tung Ting mountain is located in Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan, and is known for producing delicious, substantial and chewy, very floral teas. Tung Ting teas are priced according to where on the mountain they come from: the higher the elevation, the more difficult the growing conditions and the small the harvest are.

Frost Jade is harvested in Lugu Township, and is less austerity and more honey- rich in the taste than our Ice Jade. Frost Jade is a machine-plucked tea that is comprised of blended leaf from several tea farmers, and skillfully fired by a tea master to bring out the natural rich, flavor and arresting floral aroma of the leaf. There are several different tea bush cultivars grown on Tung Ting, and the flavor of Frost Jade is a composite of the leaf grown in that area. Frost Jade has a characteristic Tung Ting lingering, fruity-floral finish.
