Since ancient times, tea has been an essential part of Eastern culture. The Japanese have their art of tea ceremony, the Chinese their refined tea traditions, and the English their elegant afternoon tea. In Vietnam, tea is deeply woven into daily life — from the simple bowl of green tea shared in the countryside to the fragrant teapot that accompanies conversations in bustling cities.
A Taste Born in the Highlands
Cau Đat Black Tea (Special Edition) is crafted from carefully handpicked buds grown in Cầu Đất, Dalat – famously known as Vietnam’s “capital of tea and coffee.” With its cool year-round climate and elevation of over 1,600 meters above sea level, Cầu Đất offers one of the rarest environments in the country to produce premium teas with refined, world-class flavors.
