Choose the service that matches your needs—whether you're sourcing exceptional teas, developing production capacity, or seeking deep cultural immersion.
Return HomeEach Service Designed for Specific Needs
We've developed three distinct offerings based on what buyers, producers, and tea enthusiasts have told us they need. Each service maintains our core commitment to transparency, fair practices, and meaningful connection while addressing different goals and circumstances.
Heritage Tea Tree Program
Access Vietnam's ancient tea trees with complete provenance documentation and direct producer relationships.
This program connects you with ethnic minority communities tending centuries-old tea trees across Hà Giang, Yên Bái, and Điện Biên provinces. Each tea includes GPS-verified location, tree age estimates based on diameter and bark characteristics, soil composition data, and detailed processing documentation.
You work directly with producer families who've maintained these trees for generations. Fair pricing reflects tea quality and provenance value while providing producers sustainable income above commodity rates. Limited quantities ensure we never pressure communities to overharvest.
Suited for specialty tea shops, collectors, and buyers seeking teas with exceptional character and verified authenticity. We handle logistics, documentation, and ongoing communication support to make direct sourcing accessible even from distance.
Ancient tree grade pricing. Minimum order quantities apply. Advance booking recommended for seasonal harvests.
Shan Tuyết Variety Development
Consulting for producers and investors developing Vietnam's distinctive native tea variety into specialty products.
Shan Tuyết represents one of Vietnam's most promising specialty teas, yet many growers lack knowledge of international market standards and specialty processing methods. This consulting service bridges that gap.
We provide site assessment of your Shan Tuyết groves, coordinate technical training in specialty processing, help develop quality control protocols, and introduce you to potential international buyers. Services adapt to your current capacity and development goals.
Suited for Vietnamese farmers expanding into specialty production, international investors entering Vietnamese agriculture, or established tea companies developing Vietnamese programs. We bring market knowledge, technical expertise, and buyer connections you need.
Comprehensive development consultation including site assessment, technical coordination, quality protocol development, and buyer introductions.
Northern Vietnam Tea Expedition
Immersive journeys through Vietnam's dramatic tea landscapes, connecting you directly with mountain communities and ancient forests.
These curated expeditions take tea professionals beyond typical tourism into working tea forests and meaningful producer interactions. You'll visit ancient tea groves in their mountain settings, observe processing methods firsthand, and engage in substantive conversations about cultivation challenges and opportunities.
Itineraries cover multiple provinces with diverse tea traditions. Groups of 4-8 participants travel comfortably while accessing areas most visitors never reach. Experienced guides provide cultural context and facilitate communication throughout.
Suited for tea buyers wanting direct source understanding, producers seeking inspiration from Vietnamese methods, or passionate enthusiasts ready for serious tea education. Programs range from 5-day focused explorations to 12-day comprehensive journeys.
8-day expedition pricing. Includes accommodations, meals, transportation, guides, and all tea activities. 5-day and 12-day options available.
