Stay on the look out for us, with a shop in Saudi Arabia, and shops planned to open in Thailand and Albania.  I’m getting ready to take a trip up the Mekong river to the city of Sipsongpanna (twelve thousand rice fields), the birth place of pu’er tea.  Our oolong tea inventory is already well established, so I figured it was time to give pu’er another chance, and white tea as well.  At first I wasn’t that into the pu’er, but given more tastings I am beginning to love it, white tea I have always enjoyed.  Still when it comes to a nice pot of oolong tea, for me there is no comparison.

Our Co. team is getting ready to launch the website anyday now, so keep watching for www.jadedragontea.com.  For now all tea orders can be placed directly to pretzelboy00@gmail.com.  Drink tea, live longer!

We’re just back from two amazing spots in Northern Thailand: Huay Cha Ka which is a King’s Royal Project and Lisu village, and Doi Mae Salong @ 1,800 meters above sea level where the finest oolong teas in the country are grown, another royal project that was established in the seventies to replace opium crops with tea…

The whole family piled in the truck: Aloma, Cha and myself at the wheel. The objective was to take a small vacation to one of my favorite places in the North of Thailand: Doi Mae Salong, and purchase some teas to stock my inventory (The new batch is available! contact me for shipment options) and to check out the Lisu village silver smiths to see what kind of creative juices they got going, and if anything was worth purchasing. Here are some shots from our travels….Peace.
