Legend of the H’Mong people recounts that the time when heaven and earth were still undefined. One morning, a beautiful fairy descended from the earth and planted a strange seed in this land. The bigger the tree, the more lush the tree is with its spreading canopy, the leaves are almost half a hand large and the buds are filled with snow-white dew. One day a group of migrants came to meet an epidemic. Fortunately, thanks to the holy water from the leaves of this tree and spring water, the disease was cured. They named this strange place the stream of heaven, or Suoi Giang. Since then, people have been talking about this magical Shan Tuyet tea .
Today, Shan Tuyet tea is present everywhere, but only in Suoi Giang where there are many trees with hundreds of years old. The ancient tea trees from 100 -300 years old are impressive features that attract tourists every time they visit Suoi Giang. Each large tree branch stretched out to catch the sun and wind in the middle of the sky. The green buds covered with dew are anxiously waiting for the hand of the picker.
The image of the flower skirts hiding on the large, winding branches like a great picture makes visitors droop their legs and do not want to walk.
The older Shan Tuyet tea is, the more white it is covered, the more precious it is. Also because of this precious specialty, the processing must also be very careful. When tea stars have to master their hands so as not to lose white snow. When hunting with green peas applied to the outside of the pure white coat, the process is considered complete.
Shan Tuyet teapot smoky with iridescent golden water is also a careful selection of tea brewing. It must be an old terracotta kettle, the water from the mountain is boiling at the right temperature to bring a cup of Shan Tuyet tea with the right taste. Gently stir the thin smoke and then take a sip of tea to see the ethereal, sweet taste that lasts for hours without ever fading.
I don’t know if this leaf is as magical as the legend, but for those who have once visited, enjoyed tea and watched the ancient tea trees in the distance, it is already a great satisfaction.
