Dhara Artisanal Green Tea is a climate- and forest-friendly cultivated green tea from northern Thailand. As such, it comes from native “Assamica” type tea trees thriving in their natural biodiverse (subtropical) forest environments. Due to the highly diverse natural input in the (forest) soil, such “wild” teas are particularly rich in taste and active substances, rewarding tea drinkers with a potential for numerous delicious infusions.

Okay, I have ordered 20 grams of this tea. First 4 grams I had to toss out as my mother decided to descale the kettle, told no-one and I just filled my mug with vinegar instead of water. That was a few months back, but since then I had no mood to brew this again.
Until today. I heard they prepared coffee in the next room, but I didn’t want to get out of the bed (I slept like a baby today), but when I did, I chose green tea for today morning. I haven’t checked temperature beforehand, but I measured it afterwards and it has got lovely 70°C, so great for green tea.
First steep was subtle vegetal and mineral, with floral notes, smooth and round. It was sweet, I also noticed the peas a little and overall nice cup of tea.
Second steep I prepared about 30 minutes later, after finishing first cup, was fairly same, but with higher intensity of all flavours and scents, which was caused by two reasons I assume. First of all, the tea leaves were already wet and expanded a bit, but they haven’t relased all their flavorus yet. And second reason was I used a wee warmer water, but still not boiling one. I used my ear-thermometer, so I just listened to the water and when I heard first bubbles, I stopped the gas. This way I got usually water with temperature around 80°C, but I haven’t measured it this time. As I am writing those lines, I have a little left and the floral notes I am able to recognize — it reminds me gardenia.
Well, this is highly enjoyable green tea. Interesting how different are green teas from tea bags and loose leaf. Especialy in green tea I notice it the most.
Lol, mothers are a menace. Mine is always throwing out my tea when I’m between steeps.
My temperature-variable kettle is currently packed away in the garage from the move, so I appreciate the tip about listening for bubbles! I will have to give that a try.
It is actually something I have learned from fiction book called Memory of Water by Emmi Itäranta. It’s not much tea-related, but certainly a very interesting and nice read.
I’ve just looked it up, added to my Goodreads list!
I hope you will like it!
