Hear the storey of King Tự Đức and his connection with the tradition of scenting tea with fresh lotus flowers. Discover the role of tea in Vietnamese culture and the craftsmanship behind this distinctive tradition.

    See the Art of Lotus Tea Making

    Watch a skilled tea artisan demonstrate how tea is placed inside a fresh lotus flower to absorb its fragrance.
