The ancient wild tea tree forest near Suoi Giang, located in the northern mountains of Vietnam, Yen Bai province, is the ancestral domain of the Hmongs. Russian scientists visiting in the 1980s believe the tea trees here to be the oldest in the world. Their findings remain unpublished but across the border in Yunnan, Lincang province, carbon 14 tests show producing trees that sprouted more than 3,000 years ago. In China these venerable trees stand isolated, in remnants of gardens.
Vietnam’s Suoi Giang forest contains more than 85,000 ancient trees.
