Thai Oolong tea is a specialty that beautifully reflects the cultural and agricultural exchange between Thailand and Taiwan. The region of Doi Mae Salong in northern Thailand is particularly famous for its high-quality Oolong teas. Nestled in the misty highlands, the tea gardens benefit from fertile mountain soils, cool nights, and warm days – conditions that are ideal for Oolong cultivation.

What makes Thai Oolong unique is the use of Taiwanese tea cultivars, such as Ruan Zhi, Jin Xuan, and Four Seasons. These varieties, when combined with the terroir of Doi Mae Salong, develop their own distinctive expression: smooth and floral, often with creamy undertones, and sometimes with subtle fruity or honey-like notes.

Today, Thai Oolong is appreciated worldwide for its balanced flavors and excellent craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to how traditional Taiwanese expertise and the unique Thai landscape can unite to create teas of remarkable character and quality.
