    Watch a tea artisan demonstrate the traditional craft, make your own lotus tea using a fresh lotus flower, taste West Lake Lotus Tea, and take your handmade lotus flower home.

    Discover the Story of Vietnamese Lotus Tea

    Explore the history of Vietnamese lotus tea from the Nguyễn dynasty to the present day. 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.

    Learn about two traditional approaches: scenting tea directly inside fresh lotus flowers on the lake, and the more elaborate scenting process associated with West Lake Lotus Tea in Hanoi. Discover how the methods differ and the care involved in creating fragrant lotus tea.

    Make Your Own Lotus Tea

    Now it’s your turn. With guidance from your host, place tea inside a fresh lotus flower and wrap it with lotus leaves, following the technique demonstrated during the experience. No previous experience is needed.
