I often use Shanam's ripe tea cake. Pleasant aroma, soft sweet taste, sweet aftertaste lasting all day long. Really good for digestion. Ripe tea is suitable to drink in the evening and does not cause insomnia.

Pressed tea cakes are very convenient for users and easy to transport, store, collect or display. When pressed tightly so that bacteria do not penetrate, the cake can be stored for a long time and over time the more valuable it becomes. Previously, Vietnam only knew how to make yellow tea and sell it to China for the Pu-erh family. The Vietnamese tea industry has been wasting raw materials for many years, now someone can do it, I totally encourage and support it. I affirm that one must be very passionate and enthusiastic to successfully make pressed tea cakes.

Among the specialty products that Oxfam supports, Shanam's pressed tea is a leading brand in the production and processing of ancient, methodically organized tea. Pressed tea cake is a very new specialty product in Vietnam, the market and customer segment is small, I think this is the challenge that businesses like Shanam have to face, it is not easy to establish a formula so to develop the brand, businesses must be truly passionate and brave to survive and grow for a long time.
Shan tuyet (or snow shan tea) is a special Vietnam-originated tea variety that has been around for hundreds of years, growing completely naturally on the plateaus and hills without any human impact. (Shan in Vietnam’s ethnic language means Mountain). There are 2 types of snow shan tea: Forest shan tuyet tea that grows naturally at altitudes from 1,000 to over 2,000m and industrial shan tuyet tea which is grown at altitudes from 500 to under 1,000m. Shanam tea is processed from 100% wild snow shan tea buds from over-100-year-old snow shan tea trees. Such ancient tea trees grow completely naturally on mountains from 1,300 to 2,000m high in the Northwest region of Vietnam, with some trees up to 25m tall and up to 400 years old.
• Where it grows: Snow shan tea grows in high mountains with special soil and climate. Common tea trees grow in the midlands and plains.
• Appearance: Snow shan tea buds are larger, the older the tree, the larger the buds. The color of most of the tea petals can still be seen as snow white. The bottom of the tea leaves is covered with a layer of fine white fluff, so it is called snow tea. Freshly pressed fermented tea has a yellowish color; the longer it is left, the yellow color will gradually darken.
• Internal substances: The internal substances and nutrients in snow shan tea are much greater than in regular tea, many of them are good for health like amino acids, vitamins and minerals, etc.
• Tea soup color: Snow shan tea has a greenish yellow color, not as clear green as regular tea due to the lower amount of tannin in shan tea.
• Fragrance: The scent is light and similar to the scent of natural forest flowers.
• Taste: Snow shan tea has a mild acrid taste at first, very smooth and sweet taste at the end.
If you drink tea and have insomnia, it is because your body is very sensitive to caffeine, so you should avoid drinking yeast-killing tea (green tea), or if you want to drink it, you can drink in the early morning. You should switch to using Ripe Tea, Black Tea, Herbal Red Tea... because these teas help metabolize food quickly, making the body feel relaxed and refreshed, easier to fall asleep. If you still have trouble sleeping after using the above teas, you should only drink tea in the morning or afternoon, avoid drinking it in the evening. You should make more diluted tea until you only taste sweet and not astringent. People with insomnia are often very tired. Snow shan tea has a large nutritional content, helping to improve health. If taken properly, it will help the body significantly improve fatigue.
Pressed Tea Cake (Ancient Tea Cake) is essentially loose tea that has been naturally fermented at a certain fermentation rate (from 30% to 70%) and then pressed into a cake. Depending on the purpose of creating the type of tea cake, the tea manufacturer processes the ingredients before pressing the cake to make Raw Tea Cake or Ripe Tea Cake.
After preliminary processing, the tea is lightly fermented (about 30%), after at least 3 months, the tea is pressed into cakes so that the fermentation process mainly takes place after the cakes are pressed. Depending on the manufacturer's techniques and preservation process, it can take from 10 to several decades for a Raw Tea Cake to fully ferment. The quality of Raw Tea Cake will improve over time.
After preliminary processing, the tea is deeply fermented (about 70%-80%) for about 6 months to quickly reduce the astringency, then pressed into Ripe Tea Cake. The fermentation level is high so basically the quality of the Ripe Tea Cake does not change much over time.
