Terroir

Where the clouds pause and the tea begins to breathe.

Tea of essence — On the jagged limestone peaks at 2,200 m in Cao Ma Pho, on the frontier of Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang, ancient Shan Tuyet trees have gathered the spirit of the high mountains for centuries. Each spring, when the apricot blossoms turn white, Red Dao families climb to pick the first buds — the purest gift the land and sky can give.

Tea of heritage — For the Red Dao people, tea is a benefactor: an ancient tree is not merely property but heritage and family memory. Each tree passes down through generations as a reminder of origin and the duty to protect it.

Tea of one kind — Mai Quy Nhan is limited by nature: it comes only from 100 protected ancient Shan Tuyet trees. Every tree is named, has its own character and carries its own story; the leaves are hand-picked and fired separately using traditional indigenous methods, and every batch is traceable to its mother tree. We do not manufacture scarcity — it is simply the truth of nature, and we respect it.

Tea for a benefactor — Mai Quy Nhan exists to say thank you for the precious encounters of a lifetime. To meet a benefactor is fortune; to cherish one is a blessing.

Lục Shan Thanh Sơn
01 / 05LST-TS-160
WOOD — FIRST-FLUSH GREEN TEA

Lục Shan Thanh Sơn

Picked at the very first flush of spring, the leaves are fixed the same day to lock in their green colour and natural fragrance, then lightly rolled and pan-dried in a cast-iron wok. Unfermented — the purest expression of an ancient tea bud.

Tasting notes
Young rice fragrance, as pure as an early spring morning in the highlands. A light astringency on the tip of the tongue that turns sweet at once, with a clean finish.
Liquor
Pale golden green, crystal clear.
Temperature
75 – 80 °C

Bạch Shan Đỗ Quyên
02 / 05BST-DQ-100
WATER — PREMIUM WHITE TEA

Bạch Shan Đỗ Quyên

Picked mid-season while the buds still wear their snow-white down. Neither rolled nor pan-fired — the leaves wither naturally in the shade and mountain wind, then dry slowly to preserve the silver down and the rhododendron blossom aroma held in every bud. In the cup the leaves open like real petals.

Tasting notes
Pure and pristine, like young grass after rain. Gently sweet, cool as a hidden spring, almost without astringency.
Liquor
Pearl white with a lemon-gold tint.
Temperature
90 – 95 °C
Steeping time
20 – 30 seconds · 7–8 infusions

Hồng Shan Hoàng Kim
03 / 05HSH-HK-100
METAL — FIRST-SEASON ANCIENT BLACK TEA

Hồng Shan Hoàng Kim

Young shoots from the earliest budding trees of spring. The leaves are withered and thoroughly rolled to break the cells, then fully oxidised — turning from green to red-brown and developing the signature honey and ripe-fruit aroma — before a low-temperature drying fixes the fragrance.

Tasting notes
Rich honey and ripe fruit aromas. Clean sweetness, a long finish, no astringency.
Liquor
Vivid amber-red, bright and clear.
Temperature
90 – 95 °C

Ô Shan Vân Yên
04 / 05OSH-VY-100
FIRE — LATE-AUTUMN ANCIENT OOLONG

Ô Shan Vân Yên

Harvested in autumn, when the sun softens and mountain mist thickens. The leaves are withered and gently tumbled to bruise their edges, then semi-oxidised — stopped midway, once the aroma has turned but the leaf core is still green — then fixed, rolled into curls and finished over a light fire.

Tasting notes
Autumn sunlight, honey grass and a wisp of smoke like a hillside field at the edge of winter. The creamy body typical of ancient Shan Tuyet, with a deep, lingering sweetness.
Liquor
Deep gold with a soft orange sheen.
Temperature
Exactly 90 °C

Trà Bánh Phúc Mãn
05 / 05TBP-PM-357
EARTH — ANCIENT RAW PRESSED CAKE TEA

Trà Bánh Phúc Mãn

Late-season buds are lightly fixed, briefly rolled, sun-dried and pressed into a round cake — keeping the living microflora in the leaf so it keeps transforming slowly over the years. The round cake symbolises wholeness of feeling and a wish that all things be complete. The highest collector and gifting tier of the collection; each cake is marked with its pressing year.

Tasting notes
Freshly pressed: light astringency, raw wood and hay, a gentle sweet finish. After 3 – 5 years of proper ageing: the astringency softens and notes of honey, ripe apple and agarwood emerge, with a deeper, longer finish.
Liquor
Deep gold when new, darkening with the age of the cake.
Temperature
95 – 100 °C
Steeping time
Rinse once, then steep 20 – 30 seconds

The making

Three steps. Four seasons. A master’s lifetime.

  1. 1

    Harvest at the roof of the sky

    Dao and Hmong families rise at four in the morning, climb the moss-covered ancient branches and pick every bud by hand — never with metal tools, so the leaf keeps its shape.

  2. 2

    The art of pan-firing

    Fresh leaves wither in the shade, are rolled by hand and fired in an open wok. The master reads the heat with bare hands, preserving the precious white ‘snow’ down.

  3. 3

    Preserving the micronutrients

    Dried over charcoal and kept dry, cool and airy so the tea keeps its micronutrients.

100% Purely Natural

Wild ancient tea trees — no chemical fertiliser, no pesticides.

Master Craftsmanship

Finished by hand by the most experienced indigenous tea masters.

Express Delivery

Carefully packed and shipped express nationwide.

Money-back Guarantee

Full refund if the tea does not meet our premium quality promise.
