Black tea (Gushu Hong Cha)

Monk's Black Tea

Cultivar: Wild Camellia Thailiensis

Region: Chiang Mai, Thailand

This black tea comes from a Buddhist meditation center in the hills north of Chiang Mai. Monks and local villagers craft teas from wild trees naturally present on the site — a small, very artisanal and natural production.

Warm cacao flavours, gentle bitterness, strong and full body. A perfect tea for mornings, or even to mix with milk. Very similar in taste to a Jin Jun Mei.
