Mekong Breakfast is the perfect wake-up blend no matter where you happen to be. Rich and full bodied with a bit of smokiness, this delightful tea works well on its own or with milk.

Mekong Breakfast is a skillfully crafted blend of wild black teas from the high mountain provinces of Yên Bái, Hà Giang and Sơn La in northern Vietnam. It has added character and subtlety from the addition of a highly oxidized red oolong tea. The blend offers complex and complementary flavors we know you'll love.

About Our Vietnamese Tea

Vietnamese tea trees are some of the oldest in the world. While tea farming in Vietnam has existed for hundreds of years, 20th century conflict badly harmed the industry and prevented it from reaching Western consumers. Only in the last generation has the political climate in Vietnam improved.

Our Vietnamese tea comes from wild trees growing in the pristine, ancient forests of the far northern provinces of Hà Giang and Yên Bái. The tea is grown on mountain sides at an altitude between 4,300 and 5,500 feet. Tended by families on small farms, each tea selection exudes superior character and is ethically and sustainably produced. Our wild Vietnamese teas are organically produced and comply with international standards.

Always a wonderful experience!

We have been using this company in our Ohio based cafe for 4 years. From ordering to shipping to serving not only are the teas wonderful but so is the entire company. Fast efficient shipping, quality but not excessive packaging and customer service; all 5 stars in our humble opinion. Thank you for your dedication to excellence!

Amazing!

It doesn't take me long to consume a bag of this tea. In fact, I crush a bag in a little less than two weeks. The smell is wonderful, the flavor is rich, the taste is perfect. It's my go to tea!
