Highlights
Hue is one of the best places in Vietnam to discover the relationship between culture, ritual, and everyday life. While the city’s palaces tell the story of the Nguyễn dynasty, this experience offers a more personal way to explore Vietnamese tea culture. In one hour, you will discover rich stories, taste tea, and craft something with your own hands. What makes this activity truly special is tasting authentic West Lake Lotus Tea—one of the most refined and celebrated teas in Vietnam. Beyond tasting, you will have the rare opportunity to hand-scent your own tea inside a fresh lotus blossom—an exclusive experience you cannot find anywhere else. Under gentle guidance, you will learn traditional techniques and understand the patience behind this imperial art. Best of all, the handcrafted lotus tea you create will serve as a unique, meaningful keepsake to bring home, marking a unforgettable memory of your journey through Vietnam's timeless heritage.

About Hue
Hue, the old imperial capital of Vietnam, lines the Perfume River with a walled citadel, royal tombs and pagodas set among gardens and hills.
The Imperial City, inside the vast moated Citadel, was the seat of the Nguyen dynasty, Vietnam's last emperors. Its gates, palaces and temples, including the Noon Gate and the Hall of Supreme Harmony, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, partly restored after heavy damage during the war.
Top-ranked sights in Hue: Hue Citadel (Dai Noi), Thien Mu Pagoda, Khai Dinh Tomb.
