From the misty mountains to your cup.
The Tea Lands
Bản đồ trà Việt NamFive mountains, one country — each a different climate, a different people, a different cup. This is where every tea we pour begins. Mỗi vùng một câu chuyện.
THE MAP · BẢN ĐỒ TRÀ
One of the world’s oldest tea lands.
One of its friendliest cups.
Five mountains, one country — each a different cup.
The tea plant was born in this corner of the world. Follow the map from the far-north plateau down to the southern highlands — the people, seasons and flavours of Vietnam, one region at a time.
The pink seal marks the mountain we’re pouring this month.
Hà Giang
The far-north plateau
Vietnam’s northernmost frontier — a sea of grey karst against the Chinese border, where H’Mông villages tend Shan trees that no one planted. Many gardens are reached on foot; the leaves are picked by hand and carried back down. It is the wildest tea we pour.

Suối Giàng
Cloud-forest ancients
Above the town of Nghĩa Lộ in Yên Bái stands a forest of Shan trees, some more than three hundred years old. The Mông climb into the canopy to pick leaves silvered with fine down — tuyết, snow. Cool, honeyed, and impossibly clean.

Tà Xùa, Sơn La
This season’s mountain — Shan Tuyết
Sơn La’s cloud ridge — the pour on our tables right now. Hand-picked this spring from wild trees high above the mist: silver-downed leaves, honeyed and cool. Tea has vintages, like wine — same mountain, and every season a different cup.

The green-tea heartland
If Vietnam has a tea capital, it is Tân Cương in Thái Nguyên — rolling cultivated gardens two hours from Hà Nội. This is the tea most Vietnamese grew up drinking, poured at every welcome and every goodbye. Bright, grassy, faintly toasted.

Bảo Lộc
The southern highlands
Far south in Lâm Đồng, the plateau where tea was first planted a century ago — today the home of Vietnamese oolong. Warm days and cool nights slow the leaf and round it out. The gentlest tea on the map: floral, buttery, softly ripe.
