Origin

This premium green tea is produced by the Choui Fong Tea Estate, one of Thailand’s most renowned tea gardens, located in the highlands of Chiang Rai in the far north of the country.

The estate lies at an altitude of up to 1,200 metres, surrounded by lush hills and cool mists that provide ideal conditions for slow, flavourful leaf development.

While many Thai teas are made using Taiwanese cultivars and processing methods, this particular variety is a purely Thai creation—from cultivation to processing.

The use of native knowledge, combined with environmentally conscious farming practices, results in a tea that is truly representative of Thailand’s evolving identity in the world of fine tea.

The visual appeal of the tea is striking: long, dark anthracite-coloured leaves with occasional silvery tips.

These are carefully hand-rolled and pan-processed, giving the tea its gently twisted shape and aromatic freshness.

Harvested during the dry season to ensure clarity and purity of flavour, this tea reflects both the skill of the grower and the unique microclimate of Thailand’s northern highlands.

4. Should I add milk to this tea?

5. Is Thailand green tea like oolong tea?

While both Thai green tea and oolong tea may share similar floral and fruity notes, they differ in processing. Thai green tea, like this one from Choui Fong, is unoxidised, preserving its fresh, grassy character. Oolong teas are partially oxidised, resulting in a richer, more complex flavour with roasted or creamy undertones. This green tea is lighter and cleaner by comparison.
