Gu Keng Dong Pian

A good green ball-shaped Oolong from the hills of Gukeng.

This ball-shaped Oolong is somewhat special: The tea plants rest after the last harvest, which takes place at the end of autumn or the beginning of winter time (normally around November). In case of a sudden period of unusual warmth, the tea plants begin to shoot and to grow new leaves like they normally do in spring. Such teas are called "Dongpian", "slice of winter".
