Tuyen quang: At the foot of Tay Con Linh Mountain, in Xa Phin hamlet (Thanh Thuy border commune, Tuyen Quang province), there are more than 100 hectares of centuries-old Shan Tuyet tea trees, cherished by the Dao ethnic community as treasures. Building on and inheriting the produce and tea-making process passed down from their ancestors, the Tra Peng Cooperative has embarked on a journey to preserve and promote this natural and cultural heritage, bringing the flavor of Shan Tuyet tea beyond the borderlands.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the Tra Peng Cooperative is committed to maintaining the traditional methods of tea cultivation and production that have been handed down through generations. This dedication is not only about preserving a cultural legacy but also about ensuring the sustainability and authenticity of the Shan Tuyet tea.
The cooperative’s efforts are focused on expanding the reach of this unique tea, allowing it to gain recognition and appreciation on a broader scale. By doing so, they aim to support the local economy and provide a stable source of income for the Dao community involved in this age-old craft.
The Shan Tuyet tea trees, with their deep roots in the region, represent more than just a beverage; they are a symbol of cultural identity and pride for the Dao people. The Tra Peng Cooperative’s mission is to ensure that this heritage continues to thrive, not just locally, but internationally as well.
