Grown at altitudes of 2,200 to 2,500 metres in the pristine forests of Phong Thổ, Lai Châu, this rare tea originates from ancient Shan Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica trees, towering over 10 metres tall. These majestic trees, nurtured by pure mountain air and a rich, biodiverse environment, produce vibrant leaves in striking shades of red, purple, and green.
Harvested only on clear, sunny days, the process involves a trek deep into the forest and a climb up these ancient giants. The resulting tea brews into a clear, golden liquor with notes of stone fruit, floral undertones, cane sugar, and mountain orchids. Its strong yet calming energy (qi) delivers a smooth experience without any bitterness.
This tea reflects the untamed beauty and serene spirit of Vietnam’s highlands.

Producing White tea
Picking -> Withering -> Drying
Aged White Tea: A Rising Trend Since around 2012, aged white tea has gained popularity for its unique flavour profile. As it ages, the tea develops a smoother, more complex taste, making it highly sought after—and increasingly expensive—among tea enthusiasts.
White tea storage
White tea isn't fired, so its enzymes stay active. In a humid environment, the tea can age and develop richer flavors over time. For those wanting to preserve its original taste, store it in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
