Description
Most of the gardens in the Meung district lie between 800 and 1200 meters. There is a mixture of wild-growing old plants, replanting and agroforestry in the form of tall bushes and small trees. All plants are grown from forest tea seeds and there are no clones/cuttings, so strictly speaking there are no cultivars. The Akha in the Golden Triangle have always used the large-leaved tea plant, which is often classified as Camelia Sinensis variation Assamica, but which has a great diversity of characteristics (red/purple buds, different leaf shapes, etc.). The plants are therefore very resilient and well adapted to their environment. The character of the original plant gives the tea its strength, complexity and persistence (many infusions possible).
The combination of lush soil and abundant moisture, from mist and clouds, produces an exquisite tea with good body and a complexity of taste. The large wiry brown and golden leaves brew to a bright copper cup with light malty bouquet and a sweet, honey taste with notes of cocoa, spices and a hint of creaminess.
