Detailed Description

The tea culture in Vietnam has been alive and thriving for thousands of years. The Vietnamese drink vast amounts of tea that is produced within its borders, however, due to wars and conflicts through the years the tea in Vietnam has not been plentiful or in some cases handled with enough care and knowledge to make it a recognized tea in the world-wide market. That has all changed in recent years though. Vietnamese tea growers sought help from India in the production of quality orthodox black teas. While most of the country's people drink green tea, there are a growing number of younger Vietnamese enjoying the tastes of black teas. Vietnamese black teas were mostly exported for use in blends although lately Vietnam growers are producing high quality self drinking teas.

A tea worthy of your tastebuds! The infused leaf from these jet black, medium sized Vietnam black tea leaves yields a sweet aroma. The golden cup has a distinctive spicy/nutty flavor. Enjoy this tea by itself or try blending with your other favorite black teas.

This tea pairs well with meat, chicken, spicy foods, chocolate and spiced desserts.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

A Complex Black 6/1/2019
This is a very good black tea. As the description indicates, there is a slight nuttiness to it, both in the smell and taste. What I like about this is that it's more complex than the Assams and Ceylons that I've had. While still a black and therefore relatively bold, it's also more than that.
 
A nice, yet simple tea 5/2/2018
I have been drinking Keemun tea from Simpson and Vail for many years, so I figured it was time for a change. Based on the description, I tried a pound of Vietnam Black Tea. It is a very good tea, yet it is not a complex tea. The flavor is good, and would be something that I might drink before going to bed. However for my first tea of the morning I would rather have something more robust. The Vietnam tea is a very good tea, and one that could become a fall back tea, but I think I am going to stick to my beloved Keemun.

Mild Tea 3/16/2018
I was very curious to drink this tea. After preparing this tea and drinking it black I found it to be mild and while it is acceptable to drink, it was nothing like more robust teas with bigger flavor profiles. For a simple tea this one would be perfect, nothing to object to in the taste, a nice plain tea.
