Doi Maesalong......
















This is a tea plantation..... it's a beautiful, windy, mountain road covered with tea plants of all kinds. The majority is different kinds of green tea and oolong. There's really little communities all over the mountain. The people are beautiful and very friendly! We enjoyed some good coffee at a place called Sweet Maesalong! Best coffee I have had in Thailand or maybe ever..... I'll have to think about that a little longer....but I'm pretty sure ever. WE also got to do tea tasting. That was fun... we learned the right way to taste tea. They pour it into this tall and skinny ceramic mug and they place it upside down inside a larger mug so when you pull the smaller cup up you can roll the cup that had the tea in it in your hands and smell the tea and then you drink it. The skinny cup is really warm so it acts as a hand warmer as well. So smart! Here's some pictures of us there....enjoy.....
