Dhara Golden Tips Black Tea as curated by @siamtee_thomas_kasper.
A convert to Wild Thai Tea, I would recommend those Thomas sources from @monsoontea (#Fhaang) who are dedicated to the Forest Friendly Tea concept.
Dhara grows wild in the Mountains of Northern Thailand from Camellia sinensis var. assamica trees and much of the process is by hand. Picking standard is 1 +1 from the jungle/forests of Mae Hong Son (แม่แตง), Thailand.
The leaves are large (assamica for sure), hand twisted black with golden flecks and dry give off suggestions of cocoa, malt, and toast.
Brewed a cocoa, smouldered coffee, and caramel aroma is complemented by a rounded sweetness in the mouth.
It produces best when brewed Western style and is then a satisfying tea and testament to ancient Thai tradition nature.
