At the headquarters (No. 486, Group 11, Dong Quang ward, Thai Nguyen city), Mr. Phan Huy Trung, Deputy Director, was working on the computer to complete the Company’s website. Although it was sketchy, the website with the tea features made me surprised. But the most surprised thing to me is his family including his father, Director Phan Huy Binh, his sister and he translated documents, drafted the export contract, made tea brands by themselves and they will work as “guides” to introduce their Company and productions to the international guests in English in the Tea Festival.

Established for more than 10 years, the revenues of Trung Nguyen Tea Import-export Limited Company comes from the tea export in major. Every year this company exports about 1,000-1,500 tons of the dried tea buds to countries in the Middle East. In this year, up to mid October, this company exported more than 800 tons of the dried tea buds. The annual export value increases to 25-30%. At present, in the producing enterprise of this company (The industry group 2, Tan Lap ward), there are always 20-25 employees, the average income is more than 3 million VND per capita every month.  In 3 years (2007,2009 và 2010), this enterprise was granted the title Prestigious Export by Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Mr. Phan Huy Binh, the Director of the Company, talked quite passionately about the participation preparation of the Company for this International Tea Festival in Thai Nguyen. With the motto “Blowing Thai Nguyen tea over the sea”, he has led some works in order to achieve the desire of broadening the export market to Europe, India, Taiwan, etc. besides, maintaining the trade partners, concurrently, broadcasting the two new productions: “Thai Hoang tea” and “Thai Linh tea” to the internal and external customers. He told that these products were combined between the specific aroma of Phuc Van Tien and Bat Tien tea and the acrid, strong, sweet of Tan Cuong tea, Trai Cai tea, La bang tea, which make the Trung Nguyen tea character.

Through experiences from the Tea Festival 2007, in this Festival 2011, Mr. Binh prepared  the packing form and the product quality more carefully. He invested billions of VND to improve the production line, buy the vaccuum extractor, margin gluer, modern tea color-selecting machine of Korea and constructed one more showroom in Group 6, Tan Lap ward, Thai Nguyen city. On the packing, there are added English and Arabic information. The company signed with more than 100 households in the tea areas in districts such as Dai Tu, Phu Luong, Dong Hy, Pho Yen, etc. about supplying the clear materials (no pesticide left) to have the safe products, guarantee that there is no active element when checking by machine.

Trung Nguyen Tea Import-export Limited Company catches the chances to touch the international market, affirm the trademark of company as well as Thai Nguyen tea, and contribute to the Tea Festival success.
