Delicate Vietnamese White Tea crafted exclusively from young buds harvested from ancient Shan Tuyet tea trees growing in the remote mountains of Ha Giang.

Naturally covered in fine silvery-white hairs, the plump young buds are carefully harvested and gently processed to preserve their beautiful appearance and delicate character. Once infused, they produce a clear, pale-golden liquor with a soft floral aroma and subtle nectar-like sweetness.

Smooth, clean and naturally sweet, this elegant white tea reveals a gentle mountain freshness with very little astringency and a long, refined finish. The whole buds can be infused several times, gradually revealing new layers of aroma and sweetness with each brew.

A beautifully pure expression of Ha Giang’s ancient Shan Tuyet tea tradition, made entirely from young tea buds and designed to be enjoyed slowly across successive infusions.
