Custom Tea made from ancient trees of Vietnam by AN SHIM TEA

AUTHOR'S PRODUCT LINE

This is our second year when we produce our own Sheng Pu'Er from ancient tea trees of Vietnam! Being sourcing and dealing high quality Gu Shu material for more than six years, in 2022 we decided to open a new chapter in our tea journey and start to produce our own tea!

For most Pu'Er tea connoisseurs blended tea is quite common thing! In China tea producers create blended Shu and Sheng since early 70's! In Vietnam Pu'Er tea culture is quite young and tea lovers used to deal with 'single origin tea'! For many years I've been traveling and observing, studying the topic of Pu'Er tea and experimenting in order to eventually begin to create something that turned me from researcher into tea producer!

Me and my partners work in tea industry for a very long time and have a great connections which help us to provide a high-quality tea made by most experienced tea masters in Vietnam! We do wholesale and now we have our own product line where we try to create a special tea by blending different material! We also provide a very special service which is called "Custom Tea" where we create special recipes/blend for tea brands and merchants!

"7566" is our first blended Sheng Pu'Er which started author's product line created by AN TRÀ and AN SHIM TEA. We dedicate this tea to our long-term relationship and memorizes this moment with the name '7566" which means 7566 km between Riga and Hanoi. This distance never stooped us from dreaming and creating a better future for Vietnamese tea. We believe this tea will start a new chapter in Vietnamese Pu'Er culture and attracts people to learn more about the culture of aged tea.

Using raw material from different provinces of Norther part of Vietnam, we tried a lot to create a special tea with its own original character and flavour. We used different aged tea leaves to balance aroma and taste, as well as harmonize the energy inside. This product already tastes like a semi-aged Pu'Er tea and was met with positive feedback from our customers.

AN II is our second creation which continue our author's product line created by AN TRÀ and AN SHIM TEA. Completely different character, taste and energy!

TEA IN VIETNAM

There are 8 regions in Vietnam and it is possible to find tea production in each of them. The most tea producing regions are Northwerstern Region (TÂY BẮC) and Northeastern Region (Dong Bac) located in the North part of the country and divided into 9 provinces famous for its tea.

SHAN TEA is a unique wild variety of Camellia Sinensis which grows high in mountains of the Northern part of Vietnam. SHAN TEA or SNOW SHAN (snow-upon-a-high-mountain) arises from the thick snow-white coat of fur that embraces each silky green tea bud. This telling feature enables the tea leaves to thrive at a height of 2000 meters above sea level, hampered by bitingly cold and frosty climate all year round. Ranging along North West Mountainous area: from Hà Giang, Yên Bái, Lào Cai to Lai Châu, Điện Biên, Sơn La ... Each of those lands is filled with Snow Shan Tea traces. Depending on the different soil condition, climate, harvesting habits, and crafty processing method in each province, Snow Shan Tea Taste would vary accordingly.

Snow Shan Tea in Vietnam has been gradually affirming its position in competitions around the world with its unique delicious flavor and endless stories of cultural identity and the vitality of Vietnam mountains.

We believe this tea will start a new chapter in Vietnamese Pu'Er culture and attracts people to learn more about the culture of aged tea.

Using raw material from different provinces of Norther part of Vietnam, we tried a lot to create a special tea with its own original character and flavour. We used both aged and fresh tea leaves to balance aroma and taste as well as harmonize the energy inside. We are proud to introduce you this first project we were working on during last few years.

ORGANOLEPTICS

Dry tea leaves have a sweet fragrance with creamy. honey, floral and mostly perfume notes. After warming tea leaves in a hot teapot aroma develop into wood incense notes. The taste is sweet and smooth with floral, honey and dried fruit notes. During tea session taste slightly changes into woody and mushroom nuances. Well-balanced Sheng with semi-aged profile should definitely surprise Pu'Er tea connoisseurs.

"120/80" (2023)

120/80 was our very first project with AN TRÀ and Vietnamese Tea Association back in 2018, when we traveled to Hà Giang province to discover 'ancient tea'. The idea is very simple - 120/80 is an ideal blood pressure for human body, with much lower risk of heart disease. This tea, made from organic material, should bring unique organoleptic experience as well as beneficial properties for tea drinker’s health. By naming this way, we would like to pay special attention to a beneficial property of a tea leaf.

ABOUT AN TRÀ

We are family business started its tea journey back in a 1964, when the founders, our grandfather and grandmother, met in 1964, in Thanh Ba Tea Factory, the first tea factory in Vietnam. They were working there as interns and then joined in management and quality control. After setting the first one, they move to another place in Yên Bái to build the biggest tea factory at that time. After that they have been working and travelling around Vietnam to help setting more tea gardens and factories until they retired. Being a technologist and tea taster for most part of their lives they kept tea as a centre of attention in our family's values.

Continue their legacy, we work in such fields as manufacturing, trade promotion and education, to help Vietnam tea producers and tea entertainers develop Vietnamese Tea Culture.
