 The combination of climate and soil conditions at Santikhiri is ideal for growing high quality oolongs ("black dragon" in Chinese).Such teas are cultivated at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,400 metres (3,960–4,620 ft).In 2005, Santikhiri was selected by the Tourism and Sports Ministry as an OTOP ("One Tambon One Product") tourism village in recognition of its fine oolong tea.
