Chef de Tea is excited to become your sincere guide into the enticing world of tea and food pairings, where history, tradition, and craftsmanship meet modern creativity.

High-mountain tea gardens

  Then fate introduced to the world of hand-picked, small batch crafted teas – and I was utterly captivated.  Seduced by their complex flavors, breathtaking tea mountains, and dedicated growers, pickers, and masters behind every leaf.

Vietnam 

The majority of coffee grown in Vietnam is cultivated by smallholder farms, averaging 1-3 hectares each, and the farmers usually do not process their own coffee, but instead sell their red cherry to "wet mills", who process the coffee for export.
