These varieties are suitable for weather conditions and soil here. To be convenient for the processing, about 85% of tea growing households in the village have equipped tea drying machines. The advantages of tea plants are easy to care, the local people have experience in growing and taking care of tea, so the yield can reach at about 10 tons / hectare. The output of My Tan tea is quite stable with the prices of fresh tea leaves at 6,000 VND / kg; Type 1 tea is priced at 90,000 VND / kg, Type 2 tea is priced at 70,000 VND / kg.
