This gloriously healthy oil is made from the seeds of the camellia oleifera tree, an evergreen relative of camellia sinensis, the tea plant that gives us all our oolongs, tieguanyins, and assams. It’s respected across Asia for its nutritional properties, similar to olive oil in its lipid profile (93% unsaturated fats with a high level of Omega-3s), with a good dose of antioxidants, like tea polyphenols (catechins!) and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Its smoke point is 486° F (higher than coconut oil), which means you can deep fry in it without risking free radicals.

This oil has a fragrant, hazelnutty flavor. It works well in salad dressings, and its flavor blooms slightly when heated, with a stronger fragrance at warm temperatures. Use it when you wish you could saute, stir-fry and glaze with olive oil (but for its heavy flavor and lower smoke point) and you’ll be all set. Or just use it to dress noodles and feel like your convenient dinner is really healthy because you also put goji berries on top.

Ours is cold-pressed in the traditional way, with slow compression and no added heat to extract the purest, most flavorful and nutritionally complete product possible. We offer two varieties: One is the classic oil, cold-pressed from high quality tea seeds sourced from the market. The other is made from single-origin, high mountain tea seeds, sourced specifically from the mountains in Ren’ai, an indigenous mountain township in Nantou County, where the seeds are harvested by stretching nets below the trees to catch seeds as they split open and fall. These camellia seeds are highly prized and one of a kind. The oil is delightful, asparagus and buttery in its finish.

Tasting Notes and Usage

light, sweet and woody with notes of raw hazelnuts and asparagus

Its light delicate flavor and high smoke point makes it ideal for dishes where you may wish to let the other ingredients shine. Use for dressings, stir fries, baking, or basting meats. Can be used to clean and protect the blades of cutting instruments.

New to Tea Seed Oil? We recommend Tea Oil Noodles, a dish we encountered in Taiwan. Simply boil 2-3 servings of noodles and dress them in 1-2 tablespoons of camellia oil, 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and soy sauce to taste. Top with gently blanched vegetables, dried bean curd, or stir fried meats and tofu for a healthy and delicious dish.

Do not confuse this with Tea Tree oil, which is a completely different product and not consumable.

About DongHe Oil

Dong He Oil is a traditional producer of cold-pressed oils and stone-ground sesame pastes located in Chiayi, Taiwan. The oil mill was founded 100 years ago in 1921, as the original producer of cooking oil for the Dongshi township in Chiayi county. Operating in the original wood-beamed, brick building with much of the original machinery, Dong He upholds the same traditional craft principles that distinguishes their products from competitors. They continue to produce cold-pressed sesame, peanut and camellia seed oils today, and have added stone-ground sesame pastes, peanut butters, and a line of specialty sauces featuring house ingredients and family recipes.

Yes the suction works on stainless steel!!
Style: Contempo
I've been through many rag holders before including a magnetic one, which broke. But the suction on this sucker (pun intended) is top notch! It doesn't slide around or come off or slide to the bottom of the sink. It just stays put which is so unique for anything with suction cups. The only reason i am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is quite small. I wish it were a few inches longer so i could easily fit two rags or sponges in the holder. But i have to jam them in and its not pretty. So for the price, i think it should have been bigger. Still a good product because of the functionality of the suction cups.

Absolutely Perfect
Style: Contempo
This is honestly one of my favorite kitchen purchases (which sounds silly) but it's AWESOME. There's a hole for my dish brush, which is so convenient and keeps it from draining anywhere else AND it has a nice ledge for my sponge. The suction was a little iffy at first, but once it really hunkered down, I've had it for a month and it hasn't fallen since the first day. I LOVE THIS

Great product once put on correctly.
Style: Contempo
When I first received it and placed it on, it continued to fall so I almost returned it. However, I found a method online that worked and it has not fallen since even after all the water and soap getting near it. I’ve placed it on a stainless steel sink so not sure if the method works on other surfaces. Clean the area with soap and water and then make sure there’s no soap residue. Make the water temperature hot and “heat up” both the steel surface and the suction. While it’s still wet, firmly place the suction and make sure it doesn’t move. That should do the trick!

Great item to make life more pleasant!
Style: Contempo
A tiny item that makes my life more lovely. No more yucky scrubber residue all over the counter edge, or soap leaking all over from a faulty handle. A sponge can be at hand and I can hang my cloth somewhere besides the top of the faucet. The suction cups stuck well now at first, and I can move it whenever I want. Not to big nor too small. Wire is firm and strong. Will edit if it doesn’t hold up but right now highly recommend! Edit to add: A bit disappointing that the suction cups are not reliable. Even after carefully cleaning the side of my deep sink with vinegar and washing the suction cups, they come loose about once a day. Giving them a hard push on seems to help, but not a cure. I revised the rating to average 3 stars. It really isn’t a problem in the sink.

Stays put and does the job
Style: Contempo
I hate clutter. That includes my sink area. This holds my oxo scrubber and a sponge with ease. It also lets everything drain nice so there is no issue with slime or smell that other caddies have. Looks nice and amazingly the suction cups work. So far the finish is holding up and for what it is, it does its job. Looks nice.
