Shin Tea started in 2017 as a small tea room inside an apartment, opened its first large tea house in the Nguyễn Cửu Vân area of Bình Thạnh in 2019 and became a company in 2021. Today it sells from Block C of the Mỹ Phước apartment building at 280/29 Bùi Hữu Nghĩa, where a tasting room lets you choose before buying, and keeps an office and display space at 46 Pháo Đài Láng in Hanoi. The owners took part in the 2019 Tea Master Cup in Hà Giang, are active in Uống trà đi, the largest Vietnamese tea community, and host kintsugi sessions for mending Japanese ceramics.
The shelf is organised the way northern Vietnam grows tea. From Thái Nguyên come seven grades of green, from the Búp Lộc Xuân at 41,000 ₫ for 100 g through two Móc Câu, two Nõn Tôm and up to the Đinh Tâm Xuân and Đinh Ngọc bud teas. From Hà Giang and Tà Xùa come the shan teas of old trees: a green, a black, a shan black with golden tips, a tea aged in a bamboo tube and three whites, including a Bạch Shan from Suối Giàng. Lotus tea comes in two grades, Bách Diệp and West Lake Thượng Hạng, and the jasmine comes in two as well.
Oolong is the smaller shelf but a complete one: a Kim Tuyên and a Tứ Quý from Vietnamese gardens, the house's Lộc Hương and Quý Long, a Tieguanyin, an Oriental Beauty in 50 g and a GABA oolong. Most teas are sold in 100, 250 and 500 g bags, and many also as 10 g tép sachets or boxes of 25, which is the format the Hồng Phúc gift boxes use. The house publishes a price sheet, updated in June 2026, that states each tea per kilo and per pack. The site lists 08:00–17:00 as its hours.
