A rare and singular tea with a scent very similar to glutinous rice
This highly aromatic wu long from northern Thailand is distinguished by steamed rice aromas due to the presence of Nuo Mi Xiang - 糯米香 (Semnostachya menglaensis Tsui) leaves, a plant native to neighboring Yunnan. Its smooth, gourmet liqueur releases sweet, floral flavors reminiscent of basmati rice and rice pudding, accompanied by biscuity, lightly roasted notes.

Terroir
Situated at an altitude of 1,350 meters, the Mae Salong region is made up of lush mountain forests, home to many rare and endemic species, diverse flora and fauna, and numerous water springs. The subtropical climate of the highlands is characterized by relatively cool temperatures throughout the year. In addition, the alluvial and silty soils make the region ideal for tea cultivation.
Background and challenges
Mae Salong has not always been peaceful. Originally founded by growers from the Chinese diaspora who fled the Communist regime in China in 1949, Thailand's "Little Switzerland" took around 30 years to acquire the expertise needed to produce quality tea, with the support of former Thai king Rama IX.
Community projects
The latter helped improve the region's economic prospects and distance the community from its past association with the opium black market.
Organic farming
We have always offered organically grown teas and herbal teas, and used natural, organic flavours. We go even further, demanding that our suppliers use certified organic flavor carriers and solvents. Certified since 1994.
Plain tea
White, green, black and dark teas from China, India, Japan and elsewhere are all varieties from the same plant: the tea plant. Once plucked, the leaf is processed in different ways, undergoing numerous transformations. Depending on the terroir, the fineness of the leaf and the way it is processed, the result is an unlimited palette of tastes and vintages.
