Green Tea
Not only is green tea favored in Vietnam, but it is also a staple product of Southeast Asian regions. Our green tea is made from tea leaves and fresh tea buds.
Unlike other teas that undergo many processing phases ranging from fermentation to color removal, green tea uses a special method to retain the distinctive green integrity of each tea leaf. It releases a fresh sweet-bitter taste with every sip.
When it was discovered, green tea was considered a type of elixir for the upstream and royal family. It is now ranked as a superfood and widely available to everyone. The special feature of SANSE’s tea is its exceptional color and flavor. Our green tea is made from ancient Snow Shan trees. Therefore, the tea retains a light yellow color similar to honey and has a distinct aroma, leaving a light bitterness on the tongue.

Red Tea
Originating from Taiwan in 1980, the most significant between red tea compared to other kinds is its composition of 100% fully-fermented tea buds.
This fermentation process changes the chemical composition of the fresh tea leaves, helping the creation of the distinct flavor and color of red tea. SANSE’s red tea products retain a mild taste and are suitable for customers of all ages.
Along with oolong and green tea, red tea is also one of the three most popular teas in the world due to its popularity amongst various consumers. With its light aroma and slightly acidic taste, red tea is very much suited for the palate of Vietnamese people today.

Jasmine Tea
Widely used across Southeast Asian regions, jasmine tea is a blend of green and jasmine tea buds. In Vietnamese culture, jasmines are used for flavoring due to their gentle scent and are mainly grown in the Northern regions.
SANSE’s jasmine tea products are manufactured to retain the tea’s natural sweetness. To ensure that the freshness and richness of the aromatic oils in the flower, the tea mixture is sealed for 24 hours to allow the jasmine flowers to bloom. After the embalming process, the jasmine flowers turn white and slightly translucent.
When brewed, SANSE’s jasmine tea produces a beautiful green color and earthy taste with a light aroma that brings a delicate sweetness to the tea.
