ABOUT
ABOUT
Vietnam is one of the world’s oldest tea regions, home to vast areas of ancient tea tree gardens stretching from the northeast to the northwest. In recent years, the Vietnamese tea culture has experienced a true renaissance, evolving into something distinctive and authentic. The combination of unique climate, high altitude, mineral-rich soil, and steady humidity creates ideal conditions for tea cultivation, resulting in teas with exceptional purity, character, and taste. This land is also home to diverse ethnic communities, including the H’Mông, Tay, Kinh, Nung, Dao, and others, who have preserved ancient traditions of caring for tea trees.
The Vietnam Tea Production Experience is created for small groups and offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the country’s tea heritage. With a thoughtfully curated 7-day program, participants gain a deep understanding of tea’s cultural, agricultural, and spiritual dimensions. For over eight years, we have been organizing professional tea experiences across Asia, and Vietnam holds a special place among them. Each year, we welcome new participants and continue to highlight the beauty and potential of Vietnamese tea.
Our team speaks English, Vietnamese, and Russian, ensuring full communication and assistance throughout the journey. Your comfort, safety, and inner peace remain our highest priorities.

TEA EXPERIENCE
TEA EXPERIENCE
We plan to visit some of Vietnam’s finest tea masters, traveling through several of the country’s most renowned tea regions known for their exceptional quality. Our journey will begin in the province of Sơn La, home to vast high-mountain tea plantations, where we will explore the full process of cultivating, harvesting, and crafting teas of the highest mastery. We will meet a local tea master, engage in professional discussions, and conduct a formal tea tasting to evaluate the quality of their production. One of the highlights will be an overnight stay directly on the plantation, waking up surrounded by tea fields.
From there, our path will lead north to the Hà Giang province, near the Chinese border, famous for its abundance of ancient tea trees, some hundreds of years old. Local artisans here preserve traditional methods and produce some of the most authentic teas on Earth. Together with a tea master, we will visit a tea factory, head into the mountains to participate in tea harvesting, and take part in the processing of several tea types. This experience combines professional depth and cultural authenticity, offering a truly unforgettable tea journey.
This experience takes place at our newly built tea factory, located in the heart of Hà Giang Province at the foot of the mountains. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, it is the perfect place to spend a few days immersed in the lives of tea pluckers, tea producers, and our own team, who specialize in tea sourcing, blending, and quality evaluation. With fresh mountain air, a cool climate, and easy access to nearby ancient tea tree gardens, our factory provides an ideal base for exploring the region while enjoying a comfortable and authentic tea experience.
Upon returning to Hanoi, we will conclude with the “Hanoi Tea Experience” - a tasting session featuring some of the finest Vietnamese teas we discover and source each year. We will also visit the ceramic village of Bát Tràng, renowned for its master potters who specialize in teaware for the traditional tea ceremony. The combination of high-quality clay and craftsmanship passed down through generations results in unique works of art deeply valued in high tea culture.
This tea experience is a rare opportunity to expand your taste palette, deepen your understanding of Vietnamese tea, and, for those involved in the tea business, establish direct connections with producers.
