This is a white tea from Lai Chau Province, in north-west Vietnam. The tea gardens in the locality nestle beneath Fansipan - the highest mountain in Indo-China. The green-brown leaves with silvery tips lend the resulting infusion the aroma of meadow honey, while its taste is dominated by tropical mango.
