Harvesting Change
The Baiyue Tribes have inhabited the northern mountains of Vietnam for thousands of years. They have a long tradition of harvesting sacred teas from their mountains.
Our mission is to increase the visibility of the Baiyue tea-pickers on the market so they can receive the support they deserve to continue the tradition of ethical tea harvesting.
The Baiyue Tribes have harvested sacred teas from their mountains for thousands of years. The tribe, along with over 100 others in the Bach Viet region are undergoing threats from corporate influence.
Corporations have begun mass harvesting tea trees for export, and local tea pickers have been forced to work for low wages and in often environmentally damaging ways to support themselves and their families.

The diffenrent Solar Terms ( determined by lunar calendar) transmitted through generations, the element has profoundly influenced Baiyue tribe’s way of thinking and code of conduct.
