Whispers of Yen is an extraordinary wild white tea sourced from the remote highlands of Yên Bái Province in northern Vietnam. Cultivated by H'Mong families who have tended wild tea trees for generations, this rare tea is harvested from ancient Camellia sinensis trees that grow naturally in the misty mountains at elevations exceeding 1,500 meters.
The tea is crafted from tender silver buds and young leaves, hand-picked during the early spring harvest and minimally processed to preserve their delicate character. Each sip tells the story of Vietnam's rich tea heritage, the dedication of indigenous farming communities, and the pristine terroir of the Yên Bái highlands—where cool mountain air, mineral-rich soil, and morning fog create ideal conditions for exceptional white tea.
Infusions: Can be steeped 3–5 times, increasing steeping time with each infusion
Best Practices: Use filtered or spring water for optimal flavor. Preheat your teapot or gaiwan to maintain consistent temperature. Avoid boiling water, which can scorch the delicate wild leaves.

My order was running late, so Renee was so kind to work with me. She not only got the order out, but sent me a complimentary tea as a gift. We tried our first tea and it is fabulous, with this unusual but wonderful smoky flavor. So far, we’re extremely thrilled with the tea we purchased. Thanks to Renee for the excellent service.
Order 1032. I have never received my order. I have been waiting since May 24th. I want to know where my order is. I'm very angry.

I had an amazing time at the Art of The Blend event. No only did a learn alot, customer service was great, and the tea was simply divine. I created 3 of my own blend and bought extra tea to bring home. The owner Ms. Renee was relatable and knowledgeable.

The 'Imagination Tea' is an aromatic blend that truly lives up to its name. The green tea base is smooth, and the tangerine flavor adds a bright, uplifting citrus note that instantly refreshes the senses. The lemon verbena and lemongrass give it a soothing, spa-like finish, making each sip feel calming and luxurious. As an avid tea drinker, I highly recommend!
