Unique black tea from north of Vietnam, where close to the border with Yunnan, in clean forest environment, ancient and wild trees grow peacefully.

Using leaves from these trees mr. Menh produces amazingly rich black tea.

It’s thick and strong, but the bitterness is very balanced.

Taste profile: cocoa, cereals, herbs, honey, forest floor, mineral notes.

Origin: 2000 m. above sea level., Hồ Thầu, Ha Giang, north of Vietnam.

Harvest: spring 2025

Cultivar: genetically wild trees. Local hybrid of camellia sinensis var assamica.

Age of trees: above 200 years old

Description

Temperature of water and amount of leaves: 100 C, 5-6g/100ml.
Suggested brewing method: Yixing clay teapot or gaiwan of low capacity. First, you should pre-heat empty teapot/gaiwan and tea cups with boiling water. When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, rinse the tea for 5-10 seconds using boiling water and afterwards pour out all the water from your pot. The process of rinsing tea leaves is often defined as a waking the tea and is very important for quality of next brewings. Main aim of waking the tea is to remove caffeine and eventual pollution from old tea aged for many years. First drinkable infusion should be very short- not more than 10-20 second. We suggest to increase brewing time for 5-10 seconds in each next brewing.

Good as a bowl tea. Then use 2g for 200 ml and steep for 5 min.
