Ancient Shan Tuyet Green Tea 1 Bud 1 Leaf 200g

Ancient Shan Tuyet Green Tea from Ha Giang, Vietnam

Ancient Shan Tuyet Green Tea 1 Bud 1 Leaf is a premium Vietnamese loose-leaf green tea made from tender buds and young leaves harvested from ancient Shan Tuyet tea trees growing in the high mountains of Ha Giang.

The fresh tea buds are naturally covered with fine silvery-white hairs resembling snow, which gives Shan Tuyet tea its distinctive name. After harvesting, the leaves are traditionally processed to preserve their natural mountain aroma, smooth body and lasting sweetness.

What Does “1 Bud 1 Leaf” Mean?

“One bud, one leaf” refers to the careful plucking standard used for this tea. Each selected shoot includes one tender unopened bud together with one young adjoining leaf.

This harvesting method provides a balance between the concentrated aroma of the tea bud and the fuller flavour of the young leaf, producing a refined but approachable tea suitable for regular enjoyment.

Recommended Brewing Instructions

1. Heat fresh water to approximately 85–90°C.
2. Rinse the teapot or gaiwan with hot water.
3. Add approximately 6–10g of tea, depending on the size of the teapot and personal taste.
4. Briefly rinse the tea leaves with hot water and discard the rinse immediately.
5. Add approximately 180–350ml of water.
6. Steep for approximately 15–60 seconds.
7. Pour out all the tea before beginning the next infusion.

The quantity of tea, water temperature and steeping time can be adjusted according to personal preference. Shorter infusions produce a lighter taste, while longer infusions create a stronger and more astringent cup.

Multiple Infusions

High-quality Shan Tuyet tea leaves may be infused several times. Gradually increase the steeping time for later infusions while avoiding prolonged soaking, which may make the tea excessively bitter.
