En route to Dalat, passing Bao Loc Town in Lam Dong Province, tourists will catch sight of immense green tea farms. Straight rows of green tea and the scent of fresh tea wafting in the air lures tourists to stop in Bao Loc Town to bring home its specialty, Bao Loc tea, as presents for their relatives.
If Bac Thai tea, which is famous as a delicacy throughout the north, tastes slightly acrid, Bao Loc tea is mellow and fragrant. After being picked, the tea buds will be boiled to reduce the bitter flavor, then the tea goes through a stage of drying. An infusion of additives such as cinnamon and liquorice will give its unique taste. In addition, tea in Bao Loc is scented with flowers like jasmine and cholorantus, giving off a fragrant odor.
Regarded as the "kingdom of tea," Bao Loc is home to many famous tea brands, including Quoc Thai, Do Huu, Tram Anh and Rong Yang. Tram Anh and Tien Phong tearooms are venues for both tea connoisseurs and visitors to enjoy a performance of tea-brewing by artisans and taste different varieties of tea
Drinking tea also entertains tourists. In the harmony of the mild atmosphere and a view of the lush green hills, a hot cup of Bao Loc tea with its strong aromatic flavor helps tourists relax and escape the strains of life.
