Tan Cuong Green tea
When we talk about Thai Nguyen, known as the "capital of tea" it's impossible not to mention Tan Cuong tea. Famous for its varieties like 'Dinh' tea, 'Non Tom' tea, 'Moc Cau' tea, all with delightful flavors. With just a sip, you can immediately sense the fresh aroma of young rice and a deeper, more flavorful taste. The tea is clear and has a beautiful greenish-yellow color, offering a pleasant pre-taste and aftertaste, creating a unique profile of aroma, color, and taste for teas from this region.
Shan Tuyet tea
This is considered a delicious tea specialty from the Northwest region. This tea is harvested from tea trees that are over 100 years old, grown at an altitude of over 1000 meters above sea level, with significant temperature differences between day and night, providing optimal conditions for tea growth. Green tea, black tea, white tea, and red tea are all harvested from the same tea trees but undergo different processing methods to achieve the desired level of oxidation. The standout feature of this tea is its honey-colored liquor, a harmonious flavor, initially slightly bitter, leaving a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.
Tay Ho Lotus tea
Lotus tea is one of the most beloved infused teas due to its pure and elegant flavor that captivates many. It is created by combining Tan Cuong green tea with the Bach Diep lotus flower, requiring delicate and meticulous craftsmanship in both processing and tea blending. The small tea leaves carry a natural and sweet fragrance of lotus flowers, with a slight initial bitterness followed by a deep, lingering sweetness in the throat. A cup of lotus tea with its pure floral scent and a slow, sweet aftertaste will give you a refreshing start to your day.
Jasmine tea
Jasmine tea is a traditional infused tea that offers an incredibly attractive, sweet, and delicate flavor. What sets Vietnamese jasmine tea apart is that it uses green tea for infusion, unlike many other countries that use already fermented tea leaves. The tea has a lustrous golden color, a seductive and refined jasmine aroma. It has a mild bitterness and a sweet lingering aftertaste in the throat after consumption. Apart from its delightful taste, jasmine tea is also loved for its health benefits, such as aiding digestion and reducing stress and fatigue.
Oolong Tea
Oolong tea is highly regarded by tea connoisseurs worldwide for its rich flavor, long-lasting aftertaste, and ability to maintain its delicacy after multiple infusions. Unlike other traditional tea types, oolong tea has a rounded shape, a strong and fragrant aroma, and a deep amber liquor with a mild and easy-to-drink taste. When you take the first sip, you'll immediately notice a slight, pleasant bitterness followed by a creamy richness and a long-lasting sweet aftertaste. This unique profile is what makes oolong tea so appealing to many.
Thiet Quan Am tea
Thiet Quan Am tea is one of the renowned tea brands favored by many. This tea has a low oxidation level, ranging from 10-15%. After processing, the tea leaves are green with a twisted, evenly rounded structure. As soon as you open the tea bag, you can sense a gentle and long-lasting aroma. The aroma blends seamlessly with the rich, sweet taste, exploding in your mouth and leaving an extremely delicate orchid fragrance. When sipping this tea, it's best to take small sips to allow your taste buds to fully appreciate the flavor and aroma that this tea offers.
Sam Dua tea
Sam Dua tea is a unique creation in the art of tea making, crafted in the Bao Loc - Lam Dong region. With a distinctive tea infusion method and a skillful combination of green tea, fragrant pineapple, and various herbs, it creates an impressive flavor profile. The refreshing aroma permeates the room and lingers long after the tea has cooled, while the tea itself has a bright yellow color, a gentle flavor, and a sweet aftertaste that lingers. This is a refreshing drink perfect for hot summer days and offers various health benefits.
Artichoke flower tea
Artichoke is known for its numerous beneficial compounds, making it a popular choice. Artichoke flower tea, after processing, has a mild bitterness compared to the slightly bitter taste of fresh artichokes. This tea is made from the artichoke's petals or leaves, featuring a distinctive, gentle, non-astringent aroma, making it easy to drink. It is known for its detoxifying and relaxing properties, suitable for a wide range of people regardless of age or gender.
Red Tea
This tea is processed from ancient Shan Tuyet tea trees and undergoes high oxidation levels, ranging from 80-95%, resulting in the transformation of green tea leaves into black, orange, or red, thus being called red tea. The tea leaves are curly and covered with a silver downy layer. After brewing, the tea has a bright red color, a beautiful appearance, and a diverse flavor profile, ranging from sweet and gentle to bold and with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste. Red tea contains various antioxidants and nutrients beneficial for health, helping to reduce stress, making it perfect for relaxation after a long day.
Bup Mang Shan tea
Bup Mang Shan tea is a white tea made from the shoots of ancient tea trees that grow at altitudes over 1500 meters and are several hundred years old. The fresh tea shoots naturally wither and dry without the use of heat, and they are considered complete when moisture content reaches just 7%. The name Bup Mang Shan comes from its elongated, slender shape with small branches protruding like bamboo shoots. After brewing, the tea has a clear white color with a slight hint of yellow, exuding a delicate and pure wild orchid fragrance. It has a sweet, refreshing, and invigorating taste, providing a delightful experience.
