There is a specialness to the meeting place; to the ordained melding point of ideas and desires. Plucked from the high slopes of Santikhiri (Peace Hill) in northwestern Thailand, Ambrosia breakfast is testament to the interconnection of three kingdoms: insect, plant and animal. Tender tea shoots are bitten by jassids, which cause the plant to release an alluring scent, attracting predators of the insect. Producer Mr. Lu’s task is to court the jassids to his garden—a delicate balance—and pluck the bitten shoots. To those hesitant of the notion of bug-bitten leaves, there’s a famous Thai quip: “Mai pen rai,” meaning, simply, “nevermind.” Ambrosia is plush, full-bodied and sweet with notes of hawthorn berries, baked peach, and mead.

I finished this one rather quickly after pushing it off for a bit. The supreme quality surprised, given it’s only 12 bucks for 50 grams, nevermind it tastes like a high quality Taiwanese Honey Black. Super, super good. All the notes are above, and now I just have to rate it. I will say if you check this company out and looking for good budget teas that punch well above their weight, I’d recommend this one. The hawthorne berries and baked peach flavor profile contrasted with the teas light malt make it super appealing. I might buy some more of this next time.
