Viet-Coffee Australia is currently partnering with Hatvala to being you the best of Vietnamese teas. Vietnamese tea must be one of the worlds best kept secrets and at present we offer five Hatvala branded Vietnamese teas.
This range is complimentary to our Cat Nghi tea range and the new Hatvala range offers Autumn Jade green tea, Five Penny tea (green), Flowery Oolong, a very special rare white tea by the name of Mountain Mist and a fantastic black tea called Wild boar.
The owners of Hatvala have traveled extensively throughout Vietnam to sample and select the best teas that Vietnam has to offer and we support their assertion that they have found some perfect gems.
We support Hatvala as their business model is to buy directly from producers that they have visited personally, Hatvala have established that every care is taken to produce a pure and quality leaf. This business model is just as good as the Fairtrade system as the people who grow and pick the tea are those that get the benefit from grower direct rewards.
Together Viet-coffee Australia and Hatvala have selected for Australia a range of grower direct organically grown and wild teas. The high mountain wild teas are grown at at over 1200 metres, and are generally harvested by local hill tribes who will often need to climb high in the tree canopy with their collecting baskets to pluck the youngest, freshest leaves that provide the most appealing and complex flavours.
Even with the estate grown teas the process remains relatively low on technology and relies heavily on manual involvement and the skill and experience of the teamaster to select the best leaves and judge each stage of production to deliver the ideal tea.
Floating Cloud is a sensational buds only white tea that has been jointly developed to our requirements by a master tea maker from Suoi Giang in Yen Bai province.
Tiger Monkey is an extraordinary limited edition wild green tea that starts out with prominent marine and mineral flavours, with a light smoke background, and develops with subsequent infusions to release earthy and woody notes.
Two Sisters is a stunning Gui Fei style 'partially bug bitten' oolong tea made from harvested leaves of the Thanh Tam (Qingxin) cultivar. The tea is lightly floral, honey sweet with complex flavours that range from fruity (grapefruit and apple) to nutty (almond) over successive infusions.
