Tea Village, Thailand

I’ve just tried the 2013 version, but I tried a later version not so long ago, the 2015 last year, and they weren’t so different. To describe the tea: Bai Hao Oriental Beauty in general is a mild, sweet oolong prepared with twisted rather than rolled leaves, including some degree of silver tips (what Bai Hao really refers to), also referred to as Dong Fang Mei Ren, with typical flavoring of honey sweetness, fruit, and mild earth elements. Similar teas are most typically from Taiwan, where the style originated, but this one is from the North of Thailand. This version had taste aspects in the range of peach fruit with cocoa and cinnamon elements, a really nice, clean, balanced tea, with a nice effect to the very mild astringency, which gave it just a touch of dryness.
