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.

Great for aggressive chewers
Color: Dogwood (Brown), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
My dog is an aggressive chewer so they are great for her. I would love to have one a bit thinner so it could fit in a holder so it is easier for her to hold while eating. This keeps her busy and is long lasting. I have purchased these multiple times.

Put your aggressive Chewer dog to the test!
Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs
A very tough toy to stand up to my aggressive chewer lab! It's a great value! The squeak is not annoying, and she's got to clamp down hard on it. It's a nice throw toy! It bounces once or twice but it still brings out the pup in our Dog! Not too small a nice size for a Lab or retriever

A Hardy Toy for Chewers
Color: Bule Octopus, Size: For Larege Dogs, Color: Bule Octopus, Size: For Larege Dogs
I must say I was very surprised with the durability of this toy. We've had it for 3 days and not one puncture hole. My rescue is a destroy chewer that doesn't care for Hardy chew toys unless it squeaks. While the squeaker isn't the best, he still loves it. We put peanut butter in the grooves for him and he goes to town. Will purchase again should he ever destroys it, worth the price!

Durable toy for a great price! Will buy again.
Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs, Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs
Great toy, heavy, good size, and durable for active chewers. My two dogs like to play tug a war a lot and this toy has held up fantastically! Afterwards they tend to chew toys to pieces but this one has stood the test of time so far. Great buy!

Very tough & VERY heavy
Color: A Red, Size: For Larege Dogs
My dog is a half black lab/half pittie & a very aggressive chewer she goes through toy bones very quickly, to the point they're so slivered up within 2 days, sometimes slightly longer, I have to get rid of them, they never last long, except for whole antlers and some split antlers. Although she rarely touches the whole antlers . Anyways, this is a great tough toy for strong large breeds. It squeaks in the center if you squeeze hard enough but the toy/bone was a bit too heavy for my girl. I got her the next smaller one and she still plays with the big heavier one more than the one that fits her perfectly so go figure. It's a great product and definitely recommend for heavy chewers. I only took a star off because of the weight I was extremely surprised by how heavy it was, but that's not necessarily a bad thing depending on the dog, this size is just not for my dog. I think I've had it about a month and she does play with it, not as much as her other toys, but it's still in amazing shape even with her heavy chewing.
