Taking a sip, the delicious, rich taste of the tea can be easily recognized, that is the taste of Thai Nguyen tea. But after enjoying a sip of delicious tea, what remains is a gentle, pure aroma, containing all the quintessence of heaven and earth, making even long-time tea makers feel surprised and irresistible. That is the scent of cinnamon flowers.
The idea of Thai Nguyen tea scented with the scent of pure white cinnamon flowers, rustic and humble as its name was born.
