Rishi Tea
Shan Tuyet Green Tea
Origin: Vi Xuyen, Ha Giang Province, Northern Vietnam Cultivar: Ha Giang Ancient Trees Harvest: 2021 Elevation: 1400m This early spring, high mountain micro-lot is from ancient tea trees harvested by the Dao Ethnic people located in Vi Xuyen, Ha Giang in Northern Vietnam. Shan Tuy?t translates as “Snow Mountain” and references the clouds and cold foggy mists where these old trees grow. The tea leaves are coated in snow white silvery down, and the trees themselves are large and gnarled, covered in misty dew, lichen, moss and wild orchids. The trees have a unique look and patina with their frosted, snow white flora. The ancient trees of Ha Giang Province are highly revered in Vietnam and China for the complexity of the tannin structure and the overall taste of tea these trees produce. The young, downy leaves are processed using a “green snow needle” technique, creating a pure bud with a frosted appearance. Snow Shan is produced in many provinces, but Ha Giang is the premier origin. Don’t let the delicate nature of the tea fool you—the tea has a potent taste, vibrant energy and a remarkable and lasting presence.
