Ms. Dang Thi Dat in Phieng Phung village, Bang Phuc commune (Cho Don) chose the ancient Shan Tuyet tea tree to start her business. When brewed, the tea here does not have the green color of normal tea but has a golden color and a rich sweet taste...
To have the capital to start the business, Ms. Dat and her husband borrowed 100 million VND from the Social Policy Bank to open a factory and buy tea production equipment. In the process of creating tea products, she follows the technique at each stage to ensure that the tea retains its original aroma and flavor when brewed.
Once the product was available, in addition to the traditional market, with the spirit of a quick-witted youth and mastery of technology, Ms. Dat researched and brought Shan Tuyet tea products to e-commerce platforms; built Facebook, Zalo, and TikTok pages to livestream sales, share interesting stories about Shan Tuyet tea trees, her family's tea production process... With a friendly, sincere, humorous, and charming way of speaking, her quality tea products continued to cross the high mountains to reach consumers in the lowlands.
At the end of 2023, Ms. Dat boldly established the Binh An Green Agriculture Cooperative, mobilizing local women and youth to participate. After its establishment, the Cooperative focused on processing and bringing to the market a variety of products such as: Shan Tuyet Tea 1 bud 1 leaf, Shan Tuyet Tea 1 bud 2 leaves, white tea, black tea and especially Lam tea. Since then, it has not only enriched tea products but more importantly, helped increase economic value for farmers.
Currently, households associated with the cooperative have taken care of ancient tea trees in an organic way, without spraying pesticides or using chemical fertilizers. Many households have a more stable income from tea trees. Ms. Mach Thi Hoai, a tea grower in Phieng Phung village, Bang Phuc commune said: "In the past, there were times when tea could not be sold or was sold at a very low price. Now, we are very happy, the harvested tea is sold directly to the cooperative in the village, the price is stable".
Ms. Ma Thi Bang, Secretary of Cho Don District Youth Union, commented: Dang Thi Dat is an ethnic minority youth who dares to think and dares to do. It is from that boldness that Ms. Dat has had initial successes. Hopefully, the products of Ms. Dat's Binh An Green Agriculture Cooperative will develop further to help people in Phieng Phung have a stable income and escape poverty.
