Vietnam Oriental Beauty

We were able to get this wonderfully crafted Oolong from the Tam Duong district in northern Vietnam. (the region where, among other things, wild and centuries-old tea trees grow). Not only is it very close to its legendary “brother” from Taiwan, but it is also organically grown and produced under organic production guidelines. In May and between September and November, only very small quantities of this specialty are produced at altitudes ranging from 700 to 1100 meters. Based on the "Jin Xuyen" cultivar, this specialty unfolds a rich and magnificent aromatic bouquet with delicate and fragrant floral notes.

Unique and limited annual production.

The cup offers a beautiful, amber robe, as well as a silky texture. All in sumptuous perfumes which are diffused as soon as the leaves are infused. Sublime flavor, syrupy, soft and sweet (vine shoots, muscat, pear, peach, citrus fruits, honey etc.., are the few aromas placed on the elegance and length in the mouth of this tea.

A real beauty, in every sense of the word.

Tam Duong tea from the mountainous province of Lai Châu (North-West) continues to seduce domestic and foreign consumers with its quality and the diversity of its products.

Thanks to the favorable climatic conditions, the quality of the tea is assured. Products are exported to Taiwan (China), the Middle East and some European countries.
