Tea drinking is a daily habit of the Vietnamese people. This beverage is served at many types of social gatherings, from business conferences to casual get-togethers with friends. The simple act of making someone a cup of tea shows warmth and kindness.
Thái Nguyên, located 75 km to the north of Hà Nội, is home to the country’s largest tea-growing area.
For many, the province’s Tân Cương Commune is the best place for tea leaves and other tea-related products in all of Việt Nam.
This exceptional tea from Tân Cương Commune has a delightful taste that will enchant even the most discerning tea enthusiasts. The first sip leaves a harsh flavour on the tip of the tongue, but it quickly turns into a rich sweet flavour when the tea is taken in.
In recent years, Thái Nguyên Province has come up with multiple strategies to help businesses, cooperatives, and farmers who grow tea in order to meet the aims of preserving and expanding the Tân Cương speciality tea area.
The province is also committed to helping people, businesses, and cooperatives that engage in tea production enhance their product identities, distribute products, and advise safe tea production procedures in order to increase tea quality.
