On the second Advent, we open a particularly mysterious door. As the candles flicker and you cozy up, immerse yourself in the world of Vietnamese tea. This tea is hand-picked from wild-growing tea plants that have been deeply rooted in nature for centuries. Through this practice, not only are ancient traditions preserved, but local communities are also supported.

The wild fragrance of the forest after the rain

A graceful amber-red color, a delicate body, floral aromas: this “black” tea that is not fully oxidized holds many gentle secrets. Its greatest one, however, is its scenting with flowers from the tropical ylang-ylang tree. It lends the tea a floral, then woody note and creates a full-bodied experience reminiscent of the fragrance of the forest after the rain.

Green Bridge (Lào Cai, Vietnam)

All teas distributed by Green Bridge are carefully handpicked and produced by experienced tea experts. They come from wild, century-old tea plants that grow up to 5 meters high and benefit from a fresh, humid climate under an ever-cloudy sky. Their global sales directly support the isolated communities that produce them.

Drawing classes for children in Northern Vietnam

Green Bridge is not only committed to preserving traditional tea culture, but also to the cultural future of Northern Vietnam in a broader sense: company founder Van organizes a one-day drawing class every year, giving about 100 children from the mountains in Hà Giang province access to artistic education, and thereby an opportunity to express themselves. Discover the gentle secrets of this tea and treat yourself to a moment of tranquility on the second Advent.
