In the cup
Follow it past the first bitterness
The first three infusions can be noticeably bitter, but without roughness. Later rounds soften towards sweetness and a delicate balsamic character.
Flowers and light fruit accompany dry wood and aloe notes. Look for pear, pineapple, grape and citrus in a smooth, light-bodied cup.
Leaf and craft
Wild-tree leaf from Thailand
This tea was harvested in spring 2023 from wild-growing trees for the Thailand Tea Forest Project.
The dry leaf includes buds and has light smoky, floral and fruity aromas.
