1. Introduction about Loc Tan Cuong Special Shrimp Bud Tea
Special Shrimp Bud Tea is harvested using the “1 bud + 1 young leaf” method. Its name comes from two defining features:

- “Shrimp” refers to the curled, shrimp-like shape of the processed tea leaves.
The tea is hand-picked at dawn before the sun rises, ensuring the buds remain fresh, dewy, and vibrant. This meticulous process results in a tea that is both aromatic and richly flavorful.
