White tea technology is one of the oldest tea processing techniques on earth when tea was considered a medicine. White tea is prepared according to a special technology of natural withering and drying, while maintaining its rich internal content with substances such as active enzymes, polyphenols, etc. Due to the special cultivars, climate, quality of the tea leaves, and low level of oxidation, this type of tea provides maximum vitamins and microelements. The highest quality white teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally dried under the sun.
Chinese traditional medicine claims that white tea has a cooling nature, dissipating heat and reducing fire. White tea strengthens the immune system, reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, prevents the development of cancer cells, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is considered that after 7 years of ageing, white tea acquires healing properties and could be used as a medicine. The taste develops and becomes richer and deeper.

WHITE BAMBOO
ORIGIN
Hà Giang is a mountainous province in northern Vietnam, located at the country’s northernmost border with China. Known for its dramatic landscapes and ancient tea forests, it is one of Vietnam’s most pristine and culturally rich regions. The province is defined by rugged limestone mountains, deep valleys, and winding rivers that shape its unique, untouched character. Tea gardens and wild Shan Tuyết trees grow at altitudes between 1,200 and 2,000 meters, surrounded by dense forests and cool mountain air. The climate is mild and misty, with frequent fog and high humidity that nourish the tea trees and enhance the natural sweetness of their leaves.
The soil in Hà Giang is rich in minerals, giving local teas a distinct clarity and depth of flavor. The region’s remote location and limited industrial activity help preserve the purity of its environment, making it one of the cleanest and most ecologically balanced tea-growing areas in Vietnam. Beyond its natural beauty, Hà Giang is home to several ethnic minority groups, including the H’Mông, Dao, and Tày, whose traditional lifestyles remain closely connected to the land. Together, the region’s geography, climate, and culture create a rare and authentic mountain terroir that defines the unique identity of Hà Giang and its celebrated teas.
ABOUT
Măng Trắng, or “White Bamboo,” is a rare Vietnamese white tea made from tender spring buds of wild tea trees growing high in the remote mountains of northern Vietnam. Deep within the jungle, these ancient trees thrive naturally, untouched by cultivation, absorbing the purity of mist, rain, and mountain soil. The buds are carefully hand-harvested by local communities during early spring, when the tea’s energy and sweetness are at their peak. Crafted in small quantities using traditional sun-withering and gentle drying, Măng Trắng reveals the essence of Vietnam’s wild mountain terroir - pure, elegant, and full of quiet strength. Its bright golden liquor carries notes of honey, flowers, and forest herbs, reflecting both the natural richness of ancient tea trees and the refined simplicity of authentic white tea craftsmanship.
ORGANOLEPTICS
The dry leaf of Măng Trắng consists of slender, silvery buds covered with soft white down, reflecting the purity of early spring harvest. The aroma is delicate and fresh, with notes of wild honey, forest flowers, and young bamboo shoots - light, clean, and full of natural sweetness. When placed in a preheated teapot, the fragrance deepens, revealing warm tones of ripe fruit, vanilla, and distant wood, while retaining a soft floral freshness. The aroma feels calm and airy, evoking the cool mountain mist of Vietnam’s northern highlands.
The infusion is clear and pale golden, radiating purity. Its aroma is gentle yet rich, combining floral and honeyed notes with a subtle herbal nuance. In taste, Măng Trắng is smooth and silky, with natural sweetness and a touch of creamy texture. The flavor opens with soft floral tones, evolving into hints of wild herbs, honey, and fresh bamboo. The aftertaste is long and refreshing, leaving a cool, sweet sensation and a feeling of clarity. Măng Trắng embodies the essence of Vietnam’s wild white teas - elegant, pure, and deeply connected to the serenity of untouched mountain nature.
GASTRONOMY
Măng Trắng, with its pure floral aroma and natural honeyed sweetness, pairs beautifully with light and delicate cuisine. Its smooth, clean character makes it a perfect companion for dishes that emphasize freshness and subtlety. It harmonizes well with white fish, shrimp, and steamed vegetables, enhancing their gentle flavors with its soft floral depth. The tea also complements rice dishes, fresh salads, and mild cheeses, where its natural sweetness adds balance and refinement. In desserts, Măng Trắng pairs elegantly with coconut sweets, almond pastries, pear tarts, and vanilla-based desserts, accentuating light textures and delicate sweetness. Served slightly cooled, it refreshes the palate and adds an elegant, aromatic note to both traditional and contemporary dining experiences.
