About TRAVINA — Tam Tra Viet Cooperative

A journey of clean tea, of trust and happiness

01Set on the eastern slopes of the Tam Dao range, nourished by water from Nui Coc Lake, across rolling hills of tea.
02Drawing on every drop of night dew and morning mist, together with the careful tending of the farmers, the tea bushes grow full of life and have built the name of Thai Nguyen, Vietnam’s foremost tea region.
03Growing on gentle hillsides and drawing minerals from the soil, the native tea bush looks unassuming yet is full of vitality. After picking, the buds go through careful hand sorting and a meticulous, distinctive process that produces a fragrant tea.
04Being the “foremost tea region” brings not only renown to Thai Nguyen but a better life for the people here — less poverty, and a calm, simple way of living — because every tea we make brings together local heritage, the essence of nature, and the care of the people who make it.

Mr Do Huu Thuan

Founder & Chairman

Ms Nguyen Thi Thu Thao

Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer

I have always wanted not only to build a Vietnamese tea brand that can reach international markets but also to build an ecosystem that is tea cooperative sustainable, with safe, Six No production.

Thu Thao runs the cooperative day to day: production planning, quality checks before a lot is released, and every order that goes out of the workshop.

The people behind TRAVINA

A cooperative is only as strong as the people running it. These are the people you deal with when you write to us, and the people whose names sit behind every lot that leaves the workshop in Dai Tu.

Judged by other tea makers

Thai Nguyen runs a provincial tea processing contest every December, where teams work fresh leaf side by side in front of judges. Our artisans competed for La Bang commune at the 2025 contest and took second prize. It is a small competition by world standards, but the people scoring it make tea for a living in the same province, which is the verdict we care about.
