Description

Step into the peaceful world of our tea house, where every leaf reflects the harmony between mountain and sea. The tea you’ll taste comes from Vietnam’s solely coastal tea region in Quang Ninh - a land where tea plants grow fully organic, without fertilizers or irrigation, nourished only by natural rainwater rich in minerals from the sea breeze. During the workshop, you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of three signature sea-grown teas representing with their own distinct aroma, color, and character, crafted through different cultivation and processing techniques, including: - Honey Black Tea – tea leaves nourished with honey from lychee and longan blossoms, giving a sweet honey aroma and lush, ripe fruit notes. - Oolong Tea – aged for 10 years and refined over coffee charcoal for a deep, smoky complexity with a hint of roasted aroma. - Flower Green Tea – hand-picked in spring, lightly fermented and traditionally dried for a clean, crisp flavor with gentle bitterness and long-lasting sweetness. Guided by an experienced tea artisan, you’ll learn the fundamentals of tea brewing, explore how aroma and temperature shape flavor, and find calm through every pour. Finally, your experience ends with a visit to a charming old house, where you can enjoy local mung-bean sweets and admire a collection of artisanal tea ware. This Tea Experience is more than a tasting, it’s a gentle journey into Vietnamese culture, shared over tea and stories behind. A short yet soulful experience that leaves you with a deeper appreciation of Vietnam’s quiet rituals!
