So sorry. Readers do check this link out. This post confirmed some of one’s hunches about tea in Thailand.<BR/><BR/>Firstly, that most Thai oolongs are quite expense. One looked at some beautifully rolled loose leaf that was selling for 800 Baht for a small bag. The scent of the dry leaf was quite intoxicating. The honey tones over deep vegetation was quite tempting indeed. Just like you the price seemed to be the decider here.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, that this tea (or at least its producers) migrated from China. Interesting story.<BR/><BR/>Your other entry on March 8th, 2009 ( http://chinateatravels.blogspot.com/2009/03/thailand-doi-mae-salong-no-17-oolong.html ) elaborated even more on these issues. And confirmed another baseless assumption about these oolongs.<BR/><BR/>That Thai oolongs are actually quite good!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your tasting notes. Look forward to reading more about Thai oolongs on your blog.<BR/><BR/>PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-19847875082361033532009-03-23T22:05:00.000-07:002009-03-23T22:05:00.000-07:00Please check out my blog on Thai tea and specifica...Please check out my blog on Thai tea and specifically the #17 oolong that I tried:<BR/><BR/>chinateatravels.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Since I have lived in Thailand since 1992, I have observed the rising tide of good Thai oolong. Over the past three years, this tea has made great gains domestically and is now getting some good reviews abroad. <BR/><BR/>We plan to visit the plantations up north, especially at Mae Salong where we visited some twenty years ago during their cross over opium to tea period. <BR/><BR/>Good blogging.Cecil Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551474809860713547noreply@blogger.com
