Tasting notes
A tea that has a very good structure (which you will generally find more in old trees), and well-developed tannins without being aggressive, which provide both hold and length. It is a very dynamic tea, which reveals itself as the infusions progress, with beautiful sensations and echoing sweetness, and an impressive length in the mouth. Rather green and vegetal on the attack, it develops long notes of honey and spices, and a touch of aromatic grass that may remind of thyme or sage, and is typical of this region of Thailand.
