green leaves tea from a species local to North
Thailand. In the mountain region of Doi Mae Salong,
where this tea is cultivated by the local
Yunnan-origin population, the plant finds optimal
conditions at heights between 1200 and 1600 meters
and a climate characterized by a 3 seasons, a rainy
period, a hot and dry period and a cold period, each
of them lasting about 4 months a year.
In the nomenclature of this tea Santikhiri stands for
the tea plant's local origin (official Thai name for
Doi Mae Salong), while Sen Chaa are the Thai words
for tea leaves.
The large open leave gives a clear and bright
yellow-green infusion. Only moderate bittering with
appropriate temperature of the used water.
In the processing, to obtain Green Tea, unlike the
partly fermented Oolong Teas or in case of the
completely fermented Black Tea, the fermentation
process of the tea leaves is stopped through heating
right after a brief withering period. Apart from the
characteristic taste and aroma of Green Teas, is procedure
in the fresh tea leave remain preserved.

combines the classical taste of traditional Chinese
Green Tea with the well-known health benfits of

grams of tea leaves infused with 300ml of ca. 75°C
hot water for an infusion period of 1- 3 minutes.
The tea will maintain taste and aroma for 2-3
infusions, depending on the duration of the
individual infusion periods
