Description

Your experience begins with a warm welcome inside a quiet Indochine-style villa, where you are introduced to the cultural journey connecting Vietnamese tea and banh troi (Floating Cake) traditions. You will start by crafting three types of banh troi using natural ingredients. Guided step-by-step, you’ll prepare the dough, shape the cakes, and discover how each variation reflects different expressions of Vietnamese flavors — from the classic traditional style to floral-inspired notes and a modern reinterpretation. After making your cakes, you’ll enjoy a curated tasting of three signature Vietnamese teas, arranged to represent different moments in Vietnam’s cultural timeline. Flower-Scented Tea embodies the elegance of Vietnamese heritage. Daily-Tradition Tea Leaves reflect everyday warmth and simplicity. Modernized-Tradition Tea brings a refined, contemporary twist to traditional roots. The experience concludes by pairing your freshly made banh tròi with each tea, allowing you to explore how flavors, textures, and stories connect across generations of Vietnamese culinary culture.
