Ta Xua Tea
Ta Xua Tea comes from Ta Xua, a village located approximately 14km from Bac Yen district in the Son La province of Vietnam. The tea plants in this area are distinct, featuring yellow branches and white flowers that contribute to a unique flavor that tea enthusiasts often admire. The tea is produced directly by the Meo ethnic community. It is currently believed that the oldest tea plant can be found in Trung Trinh village.

When you pour Ta Xua Tea into a beautifully crafted cup from Bat Trang, the refreshing aroma is immediately noticeable. While the scent may remind you of Thai Nguyen Tea, the taste is unique to Ta Xua Tea! A single sip delivers an initial bitterness that gracefully transforms into a pleasant sweetness, soothing your throat and washing away any fatigue.

In contrast to Thai Nguyen Tea, Ta Xua Tea exhibits a dark brown color. Its remarkable quality allows you to refill the pot with water 4 to 5 times without altering its color or flavor, all while preserving the floral shape of the tea leaves.
It seems that the exceptional tea plant has chosen Ta Xua as its sole habitat, as attempts to cultivate it in other regions do not yield the same flavor profile. Moreover, only the local water from Ta Xua is suitable for brewing the finest cup of tea!
