Description
A Taiwanese community has been growing tea for a number of decades in the village of Mae Salong in Northern Thailand. Planted using Taiwanese tea bushes, the gardens produce remarkably good Wu Long (oolong).
Resembling the Taiwanese Jin Xuan often used to make Dong Ding with delicious milky flavours, this cultivar produces excellent results. Wonderfully rich.
