Tra Peng and journey to bring Shan Tuyet tea flavor far and wide
At the foot of Tay Con Linh Mountain, in Xa Phin hamlet (Thanh Thuy border commune, Tuyen Quang province), there are more than 100 hectares of centuries-old Shan Tuyet tea trees, cherished by the Dao ethnic community as treasures. Building on and inheriting the produce and tea-making process passed down from their ancestors, the Tra Peng Cooperative has embarked on a journey to preserve and promote this natural and cultural heritage, bringing the flavor of Shan Tuyet tea beyond the borderlands.
