Leaving the bustling city to return to his hometown at the foot of Tam Dao mountain, the young man born in 2000, Nguyen Tung Duong (Tam Duong Bac commune), has turned his passion for agriculture into a billion-dollar fortune with the rare "green gold" - golden camellia. With perseverance, creativity and application of modern technology in production, Duong has not only built a 4-star OCOP brand for his products but also been honored as one of 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers in 2025, becoming the pride of the young generation of farmers in the integration period.

Duong's organic yellow camellia garden is over 1 hectare wide, covered by a shade net system and automatic drip irrigation.

Nguyen Tung Duong cooperates with farmers to expand the golden tea growing area to nearly 10 hectares.

Workers check the moisture and soil quality before planting; the entire process of growing golden camellia is applied in an organic, environmentally friendly way, ensuring the quality and natural medicinal properties of the product.

The golden camellia flowers are likened to the "green gold" of Tam Dao mountain region.

Each standard yellow camellia flower is carefully selected to serve the processing of dry tea and high-quality medicinal essence.

The process of drying, packaging, labeling and preserving golden flower tea is carried out in a closed system on a modern production line, meeting ISO 22000 standards, helping to preserve the natural flavor and medicinal properties of the product.

Tam Dao golden flower tea products have achieved 4-star OCOP certification and are widely distributed inside and outside the province; after drying, the tea has high economic value and is sold at a price of over 20 million VND/kg.

Tam Dao golden flower tea is trusted and chosen by many consumers, becoming a typical product of Tam Dao mountain region.
