Thai Nguyen tea is distinguished by its unique liquor color, not a bright green but rather a golden hue reminiscent of honey. The tea aroma encapsulates the natural essence of the earth and sky. As you take a sip, you'll discover a robust flavor with a subtle hint of astringency that lingers into a delightful sweetness upon reaching your throat.
Lotus seed jam: Vietnamese people pair jam with tea for no coincidence. After taking a bite of sweet jam, one craves the slightly bitter taste of tea to soothe it, leaving a lingering sweetness deep in the mouth. Lotus seed jam is often paired with tea because of its natural, refreshing, and slightly nutty flavor.
