Traditional Tea Gathering to Taste Vietnam's Spring Tea at a Local Resort on April 26 — The First Step Toward a New Stay Experience Called 'Tea Retreat'

Tinh, a Vietnamese tea specialty store, will hold a traditional tea gathering called 'Spring Tea Gathering' on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at the 'Legacy Yen Tu' resort, located about two and a half hours by car from Hanoi, Vietnam, to experience the charm of Vietnamese tea. This event is not only an initiative to taste seasonal Vietnamese tea but also the first step toward realizing the 'Tea Retreat,' a stay-based Vietnamese tea experience that our company envisions for the future. We support the 'April Dream' initiative, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of the Vietnamese tea specialty store, Tinh. About the 'Spring Tea Gathering': This event is a small-group tea gathering where you can feel the calm atmosphere of spring through Vietnamese tea. On the day, we will serve 3-4 types of Vietnamese tea, focusing on spring-harvested new tea purchased directly from producers in Vietnamese tea regions just before the event. It is a special opportunity unique to this season to taste spring Vietnamese tea shipped directly from the source. We also offer pairings with 2-3 types of sweets tailored to the tea. One of them is a traditional Japanese sweet made with Tinh's Vietnamese tea, prepared in cooperation with the tea gastronomy restaurant 'Kokyu' in Tokyo.

The Future of 'Tea Retreat' envisioned by Tinh: Tinh, a Vietnamese tea specialty store, wants to deliver not only tea but also the culture and time behind it as an experience. We hope to expand our activities in Vietnam and offer stays themed around tea. In this stay, tea becomes something that exists with the space and time, not just a drink. We envision an experience where tea naturally blends into the flow of time during your stay. This retreat also values feeling the changes of seasons and nature through tea. We aim for a stay experience that allows you to face yourself and nature slowly, not only for those familiar with tea but also for those who do not usually drink it. This 'Spring Tea Gathering' is the first step toward that. About Encha Co., Ltd.: We import and sell Vietnamese tea made without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or fragrances.
