đ Characteristics of Thanh Tra Green TeaÂ
 **Color**: When brewed, the tea yields a beautiful **greenish-yellow hue**, typical of traditional green tea.
**Aroma & Flavor**: It has a grassy fragrance and a deeper, more mellow taste. The tea starts with a bold bitterness that quickly transitions into a lingering sweetnessâthis âbitter first, sweet afterâ profile is a signature of high-quality Vietnamese teas.
**Lingering Sensation**: The flavor remains in the throat after drinking, and the aroma gently lingers on the lips.
đŒ Jasmine Tea â A Fragrant Infusion of Elegance
It is essentially **Thai Nguyen green tea infused with jasmine blossoms**.
- The tea buds are carefully selectedânot too young, not too mature.
- They are harvested early in the morning when the leaves are still covered in dew and sunlight is just beginning to shine. This is when the leaves retain the most beneficial compounds.
- These early-morning buds are crisp, fresh, and tender, with no wilting. The resulting tea is light, slightly bitter, but not harsh.
After harvesting, the tea undergoes traditional processing steps:
> **Withering â Rolling â Enzyme Deactivation â Twisting â Drying â Scenting**
- The scenting process involves layering tea leaves with jasmine flowers so the fragrance is fully absorbed.
- Once the leaves have absorbed enough aroma and darkened in color, they are dried and packaged.

- This high-quality tea is typically cultivated in **Northwest Vietnam**, especially in **HĂ Giang Province**.
- What makes it special is that the buds are harvested from **ancient tea trees** with large, mossy white trunks and twisted branches. These trees have both large and small leaves, all covered in snowy fuzzâone reason why Shan Tuyáșżt is considered more premium than other teas.
đ Black Tea â The Worldâs Most Popular Tea
**Black tea**, known as *Há»ng TrĂ * in Vietnamese, emerged and flourished in the 17th century. Its origin traces back to China, where a batch of tea leaves was accidentally left out in the sun too long. This led to full oxidation, turning the leaves a deep reddish-brown. As economies and societies evolved, black tea spread across the globe and became a staple beverage.
- Due to full oxidation, the tea no longer has a greenish-yellow hue but instead turns a **rich amber-brown**, which is visually appealing.
- The **aroma is sweet and gentle**, with a light and pleasant fragrance.
- The **taste is mild**, lacking the strong bitterness of green teaâmaking it especially suitable for newcomers and women.
- Black tea is a **key ingredient in milk tea**, widely loved by younger generations. It provides a balanced base that pairs harmoniously with sweet cream or milk. đđ”
đđ± Characteristics of Black TeaÂ
- Black tea is the result of **100% oxidation** of green tea leaves.
- When brewed, it produces a **reddish-amber color**, which may vary depending on the level of oxidation.
- The production involves exposing tea leaves to **moist, oxygen-rich air**, transforming them from green to dark brown or black.
- This oxidation process must be carefully controlled to preserve quality.
đ” OoLong Tea â The âBlack Dragonâ Loved Worldwide
- The name âOoLongâ is a transliteration of the Chinese word **âWulongâ**, meaning *black dragon*.
- It originated in **China**, and later became widely popular in **Taiwan**, where it flourished and gained international recognition.
- Unlike green tea, OoLong undergoes **partial oxidation**, meaning the process is carefully controlled and stopped before full oxidation occurs. This gives it a flavor profile that sits between green and black tea.
đ Characteristics of BĂĄch TrĂ âs OoLong

- The leaves are **rolled into tight balls**, helping preserve the aroma. When brewed, they slowly unfurl.
- The tea liquor has a **light green hue**, visually soothing and inviting.
- The taste is **gentle and smooth**, with **no harsh bitterness**. Youâll notice a subtle **floral and grassy aroma**.
- After drinking, the **fragrance lingers in the throat**, and the **sweet aftertaste** remainsâdelicate and memorable.
đ” How to Brew
1. **Prepare** tea, utensils, and water. Use boiled water cooled to around **95°C**. Avoid overly hot water to prevent excessive tannin and caffeine release.
2. **Sterilize** teapot and cups with boiling water.
3. **Add tea**: Use about **4â8 grams** of tea depending on preference.
4. **Rinse tea**: Pour a small amount of hot water just to cover the leaves, swirl gently, then discard. This âawakensâ the leaves and enhances aroma.
5. **Steep**: Fill the teapot with hot water, cover, and steep for **2â3 minutes** for the first brew. Increase steeping time for subsequent brews (usually up to **4â5 infusions**).
6. **Serve**: Pour into cups using a strainer to remove tea residue for a pure, clean cup.
