Doi Wawee is a famous tea and coffee growing region in Northern Thailand's Chiang Rai Province. The tea trees of Wawee are similar to those found in Yunnan and Myanmar and were first planted by ancient tea farmers centuries ago. The tea forest in Wawee has spread via natural seed propagation over generations since ancient times. The tea trees in Wawee are considered a precious heirloom landrace variety not found outside of the region. The Shu Pu'er is fermented from the first flush spring tea and is very energetic, rich, and a must-try for tea lovers.

After several years of buying red tea and Sheng Pu'er tea in Doi Wawee, we worked with our partners in Thailand to produce a Shu Pu'er teacake, which has a much broader market in the USA. We are so proud of their strong efforts to travel to Yunnan and master the fermentation techniques of Shu Pu'er.
