Due to the special cultivars, climate, and quality of the tea leaves, this type of tea is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and microelements. The highest quality green teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally processed to prevent oxidation and to keep the tea leaf in its original chemical composition. Green tea regulates body temperature and is very good in the summertime.
During the research over the past few decades, it has been discovered that green tea reduces the risk of heart disease, cleans the circulatory system, strengthens blood vessels, reduces blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, prevents the development of cancer cells, and relieves nervous tension.

THAI NGUYEN GREEN TEA
ORIGIN
Thái Nguyên is the most traditional and beloved tea in Vietnam as well as one of the most exported tea produced in the country. Its name comes from the tea region located in Thái Nguyên province in the East-northern part of the country about 80 km from Hanoi. Unique terrain, perfect climate, and chemistry of the soil create a special environment for growing the highest quality tea material.
This Thái Nguyên is called "Tôm nõn" which indicates the highest grade produced from early spring buds famous for their excellent quality and tender, umami flavour.
ORGANOLEPTIC
This tea has a sweet, herbal, and marine fragrance. The taste is smooth and tender with umami and salty nuances which bring associations of seaweed and grass. A little bitterness on the tip of the tongue immediately transforms into sweetness in the throat. The empty cup is full of sweet sugary fragrance. Long-lasting aftertaste with a little menthol sensation. The colour of the infusion is deep green with jade tones. Refreshing tea with its character and original flavour.
