The annual festival honors growers and promotes traditional tea products, particularly those made in Tan Cuong commune, which are said to be the best in Vietnam. The festival began with a procession of the commune’s most beautiful and oldest tea tree, followed by a demonstration of the local tea ceremony. The highlight of the festival was a contest of processing tea leaves for farmers from eight villages of Tan Cuong commune. Many devoted tea-drinkers were excited to have the opportunity to see how their favorite tea is made and to taste the tea right after it is processed.
This is the seventh year tea grown in Tan Cuong has been granted geographical indication (GI), making it one of only five products whose GI is protected.
