Overview

In the gentle rhythm of Hue, Vietnam’s old capital, life flows slower and softer. There are afternoons when all we long for is a peaceful pause — a moment to breathe, to return to ourselves, and to savor the beauty of simple rituals.

This lotus tea workshop in Hue is created as such a pause. It is a mindful cultural experience where guests can slow down, reconnect with their senses, and enjoy the harmony of traditional lotus tea and Hue delicacies.

The Art of Lotus Tea in Hue

For generations, lotus tea has been cherished in Vietnam as a calming drink believed to ease the mind, reduce restlessness, and bring clarity to the spirit. In Hue, lotus tea is more than a beverage — it is part of a refined way of living, closely connected to mindfulness and inner balance.

Brewing lotus tea is not simply about pouring hot water. It is a quiet ritual: warming the teapot, measuring tea leaves with care, and patiently watching the infusion unfold. Each step invites presence and calm.

A Traditional Tea Experience with Hue Cakes

Accompanying the tea are delicate Hue traditional mung bean cakes, handcrafted and molded into the shapes of familiar fruits such as peaches, plums, guavas, and oranges. Their gentle sweetness beautifully balances the soft bitterness of lotus tea, creating harmony in both flavor and mood.

This pairing reflects the philosophy of balance deeply rooted in Hue’s culinary and spiritual traditions.
