This is part of a project to preserve and uphold tangible and intangible values of Thai Nguyen-produced tea.

The project targets to sustain and develop traditional and famous tea regions and villages namely Tan Cuong, La Bang, Khe Coc Trai and Song Cau.

It also aims to reorganize tea cultivation areas to raise output, quality and ensure hygiene of Vietnamese tea.

In addition, the project looks to perfect infrastructure system, services and products to offer tours to the tea homeland.

Earlier, the first international tea festival was held in Thai Nguyen in November 12, 2011, drawing the attendance of ten countries and territories, 30 localities, 50 traditional villages and 25 tea enterprises.

The event offered a good chance to advertize Vietnamese tea to domestic and international customers./.
