Danh Trà is a family from the tea hills of Đại Từ, in Thái Nguyên province, with its workshop at Xóm Cầu Thông in the town of Hùng Sơn. In Ho Chi Minh City it runs two tea rooms, both in Thủ Đức: one at 30A Đường 46 in Thảo Điền and one at 12 Đường 39 in the Vạn Phúc residential estate, each with car parking and an outdoor area where pets are welcome. Orders also ship from a warehouse at 201/19 Nguyễn Xí in Bình Thạnh. The family describes working alongside like-minded tea families in Japan, China and Taiwan for the teas it does not grow itself.
The green teas carry the family's own names. Long Vân is a La Bằng green at 50,000 ₫ for 100 g; Nõn Tôm comes as a 4-star picked one bud and two leaves and a 5-star called Nhất Diệp; Cốm is a small-plot tea named for its young-rice aroma; Ngọc Diệp is the bud-only đinh grade at the top. Larger packs: Kim Tiên and Bát Tiên in 500 g, and the traditional Móc Câu in a kilo of ten 100 g bags. From Hà Giang's Tây Côn Lĩnh range come a Tôm Vàng black of golden buds, a traditional shan black, the Tôm Bạc white and two pressed cakes.
The Japanese shelf is unusual for a Vietnamese producer: four matchas named by cultivar, Hotaru, Saemidori, an organic Saemidori and Tsuyuhikari, from the Yame and Ōmi regions, each in 30 g bags or 25 g ceramic jars, plus powdered genmaicha and houjicha in 50 g. A Mật Hương black oolong from summer leaves rounds out the list. Opening hours are not published on the site, and the Thảo Điền and Vạn Phúc rooms each have their own menu, so it is worth a call before crossing the river.
