“I’ve been keen to try a few Northern Thailand teas lately, having spent a bit of the time in the region but never quite finding a green tea that knocked my socks off. This tea will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS...” Read full tasting note
This is a Northern Thai specialty green tea that is harvested from a tea plant species that has been local to the area for centuries. It is infused during processing with a local wild growth herb, giving it an intense rice aroma that will transport you to Thailand before you’ve even taken the first sip.
Distinct from its Japanese cousin Genmaicha, this Rice Tea gives the flavours of fresh boiled rice combined with an equally fresh and clear green tea.
No flavour essences are used in the processing of this tea – the herbs are included in the heating stage and removed from the final product.
