Our Story
Hello there! We’re Annie (left) and Vina (right), sisters by choice, united by our love for Vietnamese tea and coffee.
Annie’s journey began in the captivating town of Bao Loc, Viet Nam, where endless tea and coffee farms painted the landscape with lush greenery. Tea and coffee were our childhood companions, connecting us with neighbors, friends, and family over morning brews and steamy afternoon pots. Annie brought this cherished tradition to the United States, where her younger sister’s best friend, 13-year-old Vina, became a regular after-school tea guest.
Vina, hailing from Little Saigon, Orange County, had grown up sipping tea with her grandparents. Her passion for Vietnamese teas ignited during a transformative three-month trip to Viet Nam, where she bonded with tea farmers and artisans deeply devoted to their craft and the richness of Vietnamese flavors and culture. Here we stand, two Vietnamese-American women spanning generations and backgrounds, bound by our shared passion to bring you the finest Vietnamese tea and coffee, reshaping the narrative surrounding Vietnamese products. This is our journey, and we’re deeply honored to have you alongside us in savoring the flavors and warmth that have captured our hearts.
