Sip & Say Hello
FreeCome, sit, chat — we’ll brew you a Vietnamese tea. Nothing to buy, nothing to study. Just hello.
In Vietnam, tea is how we say hello.
Trà Việt Nam, poured in Toronto
From the forests where tea began: wild trees hundreds of years old, harvests named and dated like wine vintages — poured at an easy table in Toronto.
Wild-tree harvests from tea’s oldest mountains, poured at an easy Toronto table. Come thirsty and curious.

01 · ABOUT US
Very old trees, very distant mountains, a very easy table.
Every tea we pour can be traced — the region, the trees, the maker, the harvest. Most come from wild mountain forests no one ever planted. And every story is told the easy way: over a warm cup.
Chuyện núi xa, kể bên chén gần.
More about us ↗Old wild trees100–300-year trees on Tà Xùa, Hà Giang and beyond — small lots, named, dated, traceable.
A host, not a lessonNo rules to learn, no scores to give. Tea hosts the table; coffee and cacao sit as honoured guests.
02 · THE TEA LANDS · BẢN ĐỒ TRÀ
One of the world’s oldest tea lands. One of its friendliest.
The tea plant was born in these mountains. Five regions, five different cups — each with its own trees, seasons and people.

No. 07 — JULY 2026
This month, the house pours Shan Tuyết — Tà Xùa
Hand-picked this spring from wild trees high on Tà Xùa’s misty ridges — silver-downed leaves, honeyed and cool. Tea has vintages, like wine: same mountain, and every season a different cup.
Cùng một núi, mỗi mùa một chén khác.
