Nurturing life through tea, nature and architecture
TẾT GIFTS · YEAR OF THE GOAT 2027

Tea to keep,
for someone you treasure.

Vietnamese ancient-tree Shan Tuyet tea, pressed and loose, in six colours drawn from Vietnamese craft traditions.

To give tea is also to offer an invitation

When there is time, let us boil water, make tea and sit down together.

For Tết, Vietnam’s Lunar New Year, we think of the recipient before the box: someone who has spent years exploring tea, or someone who has never broken into a cake and is still finding their taste.

FOR TẾT, YEAR OF THE GOAT

Tam dương khai thái

A pair of Tết tins in deep red and golden yellow · price on request

In the Vietnamese zodiac, Mùi is the Year of the Goat. “Tam dương khai thái” is a New Year wish associated with winter giving way to spring. The Chinese characters for yang and goat share the Sino-Vietnamese reading “dương”, so three goats are used to express this wish.

Each tin carries exactly three goats among tea flowers, Shan tea buds and peach blossoms. You can choose this pair of Tết tins for the Ripe and Raw or Years of Keeping gift box.

Not sure which box to choose? Tell us about the recipient. We will make suggestions; you decide.

The tins are shown in simplified design illustrations. The three-goat banner at the top of the page is artwork from the catalogue.

Give a whole tea cake

A tea cake is a gift that stays. The recipient can break off a little at a time and enjoy it over many months, perhaps over more than one Tết.

Single-cake box

One 357 g cake: choose U2-2014, U2-2006 or U3-1998. Paper box and gift bag.

Double-cake box

Two cakes of the same tea, or two different storage years. Paper box and gift bag.

Wooden box

One 357 g cake in a wooden box, with a gift bag and card. The box can be kept and used again.

The price depends on the tea cakes and packaging you choose, and will be itemised in the quote.
