Shan Tuyet Ancient Tea - Ha Giang Highlands
Ancient tea trees, weathered and moss-covered, cling to rocky cliffs above 1,400 meters. This is the story of the native H'Mông and Dao communities who rise at 4 AM to hand-pick dew-kissed buds.
Nourished by the clean mountain air and pure mist, these trees grow naturally without chemicals. Our traditional 1-bud-1-leaf harvesting and minimal processing preserve their pristine character.
EU Organic certification guidelines, utilizing state-of-the-art cold drying processes to preserve active antioxidant compounds (EGCG).

Our Shan Tuyet tea is exclusively harvested from ancient trees aged 300 to over 500 years in Ha Giang province, Vietnam's northernmost region bordering China. Unlike conventionally farmed plantation teas, these wild-grown trees develop deep, extensive root systems that absorb unique mineral profiles from the rocky mountain soil, creating a distinctive sweet aftertaste with floral honey notes and a higher concentration of L-theanine.
Every batch undergoes rigorous independent laboratory testing for 580+ pesticide residues with guaranteed zero detection, ensuring complete compliance with stringent European Union and USDA organic standards. We maintain full traceability from the ethnic H'Mông and Dao farmer cooperatives directly to your warehouse. Each export shipment includes a QR-coded Certificate of Origin, full pesticide test reports, and a phytosanitary certificate.
For standard wholesale, our MOQ is 500kg per grade (1-bud-1-leaf or 1-bud-2-leaves). For specialty grades like Silver Needle (100% buds), the MOQ is 100kg.
To protect the delicate buds and aroma during transit, we pack the tea in moisture-barrier aluminum foil vacuum bags inside sturdy double-corrugated cartons (10kg or 20kg per carton).
The premium spring harvest (first flush) is limited to March-April, producing the highest aroma. We also offer autumn harvest. We recommend placing advance contracts before the spring harvest to secure volume.
