In the Province Ha Giang, located in the very north of Vietnam, close to the Chinese border, family-run estates, so-called “small holders”, cultivate teas following traditional methods. Since 2012, this is done largely as controlled organic cultivation. Amongst them, the Cao Bo Factory produces very fine black and green qualities. We have chosen a light brown, evenly worked leaf with golden leaf tips. Light and smooth, but still full-bodied and aromatic with a copper-colored cup. The infusion is slightly floral with hints of caramel.
