In the Province Ha Giang, located in the very north of Vietnam, close to the Chinese border, family-run estates, so-called “small holders”, cultivate teas following traditional methods. Since 2012, this is done largely as controlled organic cultivation. Amongst them, the Cao Bo Factory produces very fine black and green qualities. We have chosen a light brown, evenly worked leaf with golden leaf tips. Light and smooth, but still full-bodied and aromatic with a copper-coloured cup. The infusion is slightly floral with hints of caramel..
As far as appearance and colour are concerned, a thoroughly processed leaf tea from Vietnam does not differ at all from the far more popular sorts from China. In taste, however, it is far spicier; this results from the particular fermentation and drying process. Therefore, the quality we offer may rather be compared to a Ceylonese highland type and is, thus, particularly interesting for tea drinkers who like a mild and, at the same time, fully aromatic tea. It is also perfectly suitable for being served from a samovar..
Also called “Tua Chua-Lai Chau” in Vietnamese. The leaves of this rarity come from the old “Tuyet San” tea trees which grow up to 10 m in height in the mountain ranges in northern Vietnam at an altitude of about 1,500 m. The mountaintops are covered in thick clouds almost throughout the year. These practically ideal growing conditions guarantee a constant, very high quality. This tea captivates with a smoky green, beautifully curled leaf. The brewed olive-green leaf discloses the careful processing of the whole leaf, and the golden-coloured cup has a full, slightly sweet taste with a fresh, grass-like note.
The city of Bao Loc is located in the Lam Dong province in the highlands of Southern Vietnam. In its surroundings excellent green Oolong varieties are produced using ancient Taiwanese methods. The freshly picked tea leaves are first laid out on cloth to be dried in the sun under the open sky. Then, they are rolled in cylindrical bamboo baskets till they get crushed, which starts the fermenting. After reaching the desired level of fermentation, the tea is dried using low temperatures. The glowing green cup has a flowery scent and caresses everyone’s taste buds with its flowery, sweet flavour.
