Description
This Vietnamese green tea comes from the Tà Xùa mountains in the Son La region. The carefully gathered leaves are left to wilt for 2 to 4 hours on bamboo trays. They are then heated for 15 minutes to stop the oxidation process.
A strong green tea with a delicately astringent texture and a subtle bitterness. Its vegetal, fruity and mineral notes offer a long finish. A unique artisanal tea.
