Tan Cuong Tea in "Canh Hac" Brand 76 years ago
A 19x10cm black and white picture of Tan Cuong Tea under name "Canh Hac" brand has been published by one of the information collectors in Tan Cuong Tea, Mr. Duong Van Loi (16/Phan Dinh Phung Dist, TN).
In 2005, the Brand was found by accident at a family selling tea in Dong Xuan (Hanoi). Being refused to own, Mr. Loi photoed it. According to the Brand's owners, the Brand is their treasure, the image of couple cranes reminds us of the Vietnam's Rebel. The photo only shows its basic shape because the image's printed paper is so crumpled. Anyway, it absolutely shows that Tan Cuong Tea was conceded by Hanoians before the 1945 Revolution.
In addition, "Canh Hac brand" is also confirmed by the elderly in Tan Cuong district such as Mr. Pham Tran Lam, Nguyen Van Cuong, Pham Van Thiep. According to them, the workshop of Mr. Doi Nam - the first man grew tea from Phu Tho's seed up Tan Cuong brand at that time - was quite equiped with 40-50 workers.
Packed Tan Cuong tea in "Canh Hac" brand was special drink in Hanoi and abroad at that time. Currently however, Tan Cuong tea does not have the official brand. Should we restore the name Canh Hac which was founded by the ancestor Doi Nam and won first prize in Fair 1935, in order to regain the brand for Tan Cuong Tea?
