🌱 Thanh Tra Green Tea

It is made from carefully selected **tea buds with one tip and two leaves**, dried using traditional methods. After harvesting, the leaves go through classic tea-making steps to produce whole, mature, and intact tea leaves.

🍃 Characteristics of Thanh Tra Green Tea

**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 sweetness—this “bitter first, sweet after” 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.

🌼 Jasmine Tea – A Fragrant Infusion of Elegance

It is essentially **Thai Nguyen green tea infused with jasmine blossoms**.

- The tea buds are carefully selected—not 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 → Rolling → Enzyme Deactivation → Twisting → Drying → 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.

🍃 Black Tea – The World’s Most Popular Tea

**Black tea**, known as *Hồng Trà* 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 tea—making 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. 🍂🍵

- 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.

🍵 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 **4–8 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 “awakens” the leaves and enhances aroma.

5. **Steep**: Fill the teapot with hot water, cover, and steep for **2–3 minutes** for the first brew. Increase steeping time for subsequent brews (usually up to **4–5 infusions**).

6. **Serve**: Pour into cups using a strainer to remove tea residue for a pure, clean cup.
