PRODUCT STORY – Centella Asiatica Tea

An Xuan Company's medicinal herb area uses a drip irrigation system, plastic sheeting to prevent weeds and retain moisture. Holes are punched in the sheeting to place the Cà Gai leo plant seedlings in the ground. Every day, female workers catch insects and weed around each plant…

–It seems like the centella asiatica knows it's not a weed; it has the right to compete with the Cà Gai leo herb or something! – The female workers often exclaim like that.

There is a lot of centella asiatica; sometimes, people can't bear to pull it out…

But when there's too much, while weeding, the women take the opportunity to pick centella asiatica to dry and boil for water to drink. Occasionally, the farm manager mixes centella asiatica water with sugar and adds some ice. The women happily say: Summer heat relief is wonderful!

Visitors to the farm all pick a handful to take home. Young leaves are boiled or used in soup, while older leaves are finely ground and the juice is extracted to drink.

At the end of 2020, after harvesting 0.2 hectares of Cà Gai leo, letting the land rest during the off-season, the weeds grew, the manager had the workers harvest and dry hundreds of kilograms, and he suggested to the production head that they make tea. It's very convenient; just brew with boiling water for 3 minutes and you have a fragrant cup of tea. At that time, everyone was given a share to take home for their family to drink during Tet. The staff were very excited because they felt they were using a product they had made themselves.
