Dong Ding was the first tea I really fell in love with. I had to search for a while until I found it in my homecountry since I didn't know about tea very much. Awesome video!
Just got my first dong ding a few days ago and really enjoyed sipping while watching this documentary. I think I have a new favorite: Dong Ding Traditional A. Now I know why its one of the famous teas from Taiwan!
04:18 Wow I recognized this spot right away! I used to work just a block away =) Funny how tea brings me back to the past. Sadly though I never got to visit any of the tea shops nearby. Great production as well. Will have to try your Dong Ding next time I'm back in the states.
Really interesting documentary! Even though it was short, it had a lot of useful information in it and we got to learn more about dong ding but also about the way these people make it. I also liked the fun way you asked all of the questions :D
Fascinating! Is that a grateful dead shirt I see 👀? Awesome. Just got my first order from you all. Love the dong ding traditional a. Awesome stuff. Probably my favorite in my modest collection.
This is great. Really appreciate you putting in the work for this nice documentary. Such a process for such a beautiful result. Been drinking Floating Leaves dong ding the last several days... as deep and rich as the artists who make it.
Hi Shiuwen & Noah - your film is gorgeous! And fascinating. I love meeting the people who put so much love and hard work into growing and processing tea so that I can drink it every day. They are truly artists. Also, I loved the editing and the music - just perfect.
Melanie Reed thank you! I am grateful to the tea people in Taiwan. I am grateful to the team in Seattle. They are so generous to put in hours to put the film together!
My Tea Flow after tea was set aside for a while, tea strength might go into hiding and sometimes tea will be a little stale. By using some heat, tea can be brought back to life again.
Chawang Chang hi! We sent out emails three times to donors so that we could send the tea samples we promised. We don’t have DVD yet because we still haven’t finished the documentary. Please contact us at tea@floatingleaves.com if you donated. Thank you!
Such a beautiful film! Dong Ding is one of the first teas that I really fell in love with
Thank you for watching! We are big fans of Dong Ding here! Cheers.
I cannot wait for my Dong Ding to arrive!
I believe you ordered the fragrant one. I gave you a sample of roasted one, which is from the farmer in this footage.
That Fare thee well shirt is amazing! Weir Everywhere! Made my day seeing that bolt in this documentary!

Smelling her hands was cool, I imagine that a tea maker’s hands could smell very good
Nice video

Beautiful Shiuwen...Love it! I just wondered what he meant when he said he need to “wake up” the tea before selling it?! ☺️
