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.

WILD WHITE TEA from ANCIEN TEA TREES
ORIGIN
Vietnam is renowned as one of the oldest tea regions globally, featuring a vast expanse of ancient tea trees stretching from the northeast to the northwest. Hà Giang province, located in northeastern Vietnam along the border with Yunnan province in China, is particularly famous for its wild ancient tea trees, some of which have been growing for hundreds or even thousands of years. The area's unique climate, high elevation, fertile soil, and high humidity create an ideal environment for tea cultivation, imparting a distinctive character and flavor to the tea produced here. This region is home to various ethnic minorities, including the Vietnamese, H'Mông, Tay, Kinh, Nùng, Dao, and others, who traditionally utilize tea leaves for medicinal purposes and care for the tea trees.
This unique tea is crafted from high-quality spring tea leaves harvested from these ancient trees. It is notably rare due to limited production. The H'Mông minority harvests the leaves in the Hoàng Su Phì area of Hà Giang province, located at an altitude of over 1,300 meters above sea level. The leaves are then meticulously processed to perfection by a skilled tea master from Taiwan. This tea represents a remarkable fusion of Gu Shu (ancient tree) material and Taiwanese processing techniques, resulting in a wild tea with a distinctive flavor and energy. Hoàng Su Phì is a rural district in Hà Giang, celebrated for its rice terraces, particularly along the route connecting Hoàng Su Phì and Xín Mần, where these terraces have been designated as a National Heritage site.
We cherish our close relationship with our esteemed tea master, who produces exceptional tea sourced from these ancient tea trees. We take great pride in having collaborated with him for an extended period and consider him one of Vietnam's greatest tea masters. His unique teas are defined by their origin, the quality of the raw materials, and his specialized techniques. Over the past few years, we have partnered with the master on several exclusive teas crafted specifically for our project. We are excited to introduce you to a unique red tea made from wild tea trees and processed using Taiwanese methods, creating a truly one-of-a-kind offering that is difficult to find elsewhere on the market.
