The stamp design “Traditional Tea” is an image of dried tea buds with a tea set and freshly brewed tea. The stamp block has a size of 90 x 80 (mm) and describes the tea growing area, ancient tea trees and tea bud details. The background of the block shows the image of Long Coc tea hill ( Phu Tho province), famous for its landscape as well as tea material area.
