SHAN TUYET GREEN TEA FROM SUNG DO
According to one account of the local Hmong name, Sung Do means ‘Deep Stream’. This tea region in Van Chan, Yen Bai is known for ancient Shan Tuyet trees growing naturally at around 1,400–1,700 m above sea level. Their large, thick leaves and young buds carry fine white down. The variety, mountain climate and processing methods give the tea a strong body, distinct astringency and deep sweet finish. The tea is processed by local Hmong makers, including Mr Ly, a cooperative director who has worked in tea since 2018.
