Origin: Lung Vai village, Vi Xuyen district, Ha Giang Province Cultivar: Ha Giang Ancient Trees Elevation: 1400m Harvest: August 2021
This 2nd Flush, high mountain tea is harvested by the Dao Ethnic people in Ha Giang province in Northern Vietnam from their revered Shan Tuyet ancient tea trees. Shan Tuyết translates as “Snow Mountain” and references the teas from high elevation cloudy and foggy mists mountains where these old trees grow. Unlike other teas, Snow Shan teas are not inherently named for their processing method and plucking standard but are better defined by the ancient tea trees’ high elevation environment and characteristics. The tea tree trunks and leaves are coated in snow white silvery down, and the trunks are large and gnarled, covered in misty dew, lichen, moss and wild orchids. The trees have a unique look with their frosted, snow white flora.
The ancient trees of Ha Giang Province are highly revered in Vietnam and China for the complexity of the tannin structure and the overall taste of tea these trees produce. This leaf and a bud plucking standard reveals notes of cocoa, milk chocolate, caramelized orange, and iris.
Traditional Tea Preparation
Add 4g - 5g to a Gaiwan or Gongfu teapot (per 150ml-200ml). Use 212°F water. Do not rinse this tea. Infuse the 1st brew for 2 - 3 minutes. Repeat several times until the flavor and aroma of the tea dissipates. As the brewing session ensues, increase the infusion time to coax out the body and strength of the final infusions.
