Hailing from the Doi Mae Salong region of Thailand, this beautiful balled-style oolong is as lush as the rolling hills it came from. It’s got notes of ripe plum, caramelized apple and quince, plus a lingering hint of sweet vanilla bean. Not to mention it steeps a rich, amber liquor… hence the name. The best part?
