Organic Snow Shan Select is the middle grade of our organic Snow Shan green tea: one bud and two leaves, hand-picked from old Shan tea trees above 1,000 metres in the mountains of northern Vietnam, then sorted by hand to take out broken leaf and stalk.
Select leaf and cup
The curled leaf is even in size and shows white, downy buds. It brews a clear golden yellow liquor with a fresh, clean aroma and a smooth, naturally sweet taste, a little fuller than the Premium grade because of the second leaf.
Choosing between the three grades
All three organic grades come from the same partner garden and the same processing. Select suits premium loose tea and pyramid tea bags, where the leaf is on show. For the finest pick, see Organic Snow Shan Premium; for the most affordable cup, Organic Snow Shan Standard. All three are in our organic tea range.
The garden is farmed to Vietnam's national organic standard, and each shipment can be tested by an independent laboratory. Request a Select sample and taste it against your current green tea.

Organic Snow Shan Select FAQ
What does hand-sorted mean? After processing, the leaf is sorted by hand to remove broken leaf and stalk, so the tea looks even in a clear tin or a pyramid bag. Organic Snow Shan Standard is the same plucking without this extra sorting.
What is the difference between the three grades? They come from the same garden and the same processing. Premium is one bud and one young leaf with more white tips; Select is one bud and two leaves, sorted by hand for an even look; Standard is one bud and two leaves without the extra sorting, for a fuller cup at the lowest price of the three.
Is it certified organic for the EU or the US? No. The garden is farmed to Vietnam's national organic standard (TCVN 11041-6:2018); the tea does not hold EU or USDA organic certification, so it cannot be labelled organic in those markets. Each shipment can be tested by an independent laboratory.
How is it different from your Snow Shan Green Tea? Snow Shan Green Tea is our regular grade of the same tea. The organic grades come from a separate partner garden, are farmed organically and are sold in three plucking grades; see Snow Shan Green Tea to compare.
What is the minimum order? Organic Snow Shan is a small-harvest tea, supplied in smaller lots than our standard grades. Tell us the grade and the volume you need and we will confirm availability and lead time.
What payment terms do you accept? Flexible terms: T/T, L/C or a combination of the two, agreed for each order and written into the proforma invoice. Payment goes only to the company account of Goo Farm Tea Vietnam Company Limited, never to a personal account.
How is Organic Snow Shan Select packed? In bulk bags or vacuum aluminium bags in export cartons, or in private-label retail packs such as tins, boxes and zip bags. Ask for samples of all three grades before you order.
