From the Ancient Mountains of Ha Giang, Vietnam

Discover the extraordinary Wild Shan Tuyet Silver Needle White Tea, a rare and precious tea harvested from centuries-old wild tea trees in the rugged mountains of Ha Giang province, Vietnam. This exceptional white tea represents one of nature's most remarkable gifts, cultivated by time itself in the pristine highland wilderness.

What is Shan Tuyet?

"Shan Tuyet" (山雪) translates to "Snow Mountain" in Vietnamese, named for the distinctive silvery-white buds that resemble fresh snow crystals adorning the mountain peaks. This ancient tea variety is renowned for its unique characteristics that develop naturally in the high-altitude environment of northern Vietnam's mountainous regions.

Origin & Terroir

Sourced exclusively from wild, old-growth tea trees in Ha Giang province, this tea embodies the pure essence of Vietnam's northern highlands. These ancient trees, some over 200 years old, grow naturally without human intervention in the misty mountains near the Chinese border. The harsh mountain climate, with its dramatic temperature variations and mineral-rich soil, creates the perfect conditions for developing the tea's complex flavor profile and exceptional quality.
