Black tea Pekoe Vietnam

Vietnamese Pekoe Black Tea is a selected large-leaf tea hand-picked in the mountainous regions of Northern Vietnam. It has a delicate, mild taste with a subtle tartness and a pleasant aroma with woody and fruity notes.

Its leaves are processed using a traditional fermentation process that preserves their natural character and gives the infusion an amber color. Pekoe from Vietnam is great for everyday tea drinking or as a light alternative to Indian or Ceylon teas.

Origin and uniqueness

Vietnam has a long-standing tea culture that dates back over a thousand years. In the highlands of Lao Cai and Ha Giang, wild and semi-wild varieties are grown and hand-picked by ethnic communities. Vietnamese Pekoe tea is a balance of lightness and natural strength.
