Energetic, multitasking, and always striving for growth, many young people today are willing to take on two or three jobs at once — not only ...

Amid the rush of daily life, Gen Z is choosing a different way to rest: no luxury, no noise—just returning to nature and the simplest things. According to an Agoda survey (2025), up to 70% of young Vietnamese travel not just for check-ins, but to cool off, refresh their spirit, and “reset” their minds amid the hustle.

When emotions feel suffocated by pressure

The sound of typing echoes in a small room, lit only by the blue glow of a screen. Đức Hậu (27, a designer in Ho Chi Minh City) leans back in his chair, eyes tired, head tight like a stretched string. “Tasks keep piling up, nonstop. I feel like my emotions are being squeezed,” he sighs.

Across the city, Hải Yến and Thư—colleagues in the creative industry—are also overwhelmed by the frantic pace of work. Nine months into the year, everyone is exhausted.

When work and life pressures suffocate emotions, young people seek ways to cool down in life to reduce stress and regain mental balance.

“We didn’t want to wait until burnout to take a break. We decided to go immediately. Just leaving the city, breathing in fresh air, and treating ourselves to a chilled, fragrant Zero Degree Green Tea is enough to cool down life and reset the mind,” Yến says, her eyes filled with determination.

The three friends chose to “run away from deadlines” with a spontaneous trip to Tà Đùng—no schedule, no social media, just nature, music, and bottles of Zero Degree Green Tea as companions for their “No Degree, No Stress” journey.

Road Trip: “No Degree, No Stress” in the Great Wilderness

At dawn, the city is still half asleep. Their car rolls forward as the first light breaks, leaving behind the horns and flashing billboards. The road opens into straight rubber-tree forests, where morning mist and the scent of damp earth flow into every breath.

In the back compartment, bottles of Zero Degree Green Tea clink together—a sound as “chill” as a road-trip playlist for souls seeking relief. Hậu turns on acoustic music. The guitar notes blend with the wind sweeping past their ears. Every bend and slope makes their hearts beat faster—excited, free, and full of energy.

Zero Degree Green Tea is a must-have item for young people to reduce stress and fatigue during trips to experience nature and cool down life.

The group stops by a tree-lined road, removes their masks, and takes a deep breath. Thư pops open a bottle of Zero Degree Green Tea, a cool mist rising from the cap. The natural green tea flavor spreads gently through her body, refreshing her from the inside out.

“It feels like drinking in all the freedom of this road,” Hậu laughs.

The car continues through sunlit hills. No one talks much—letting the music, the wind, and the familiar clinking of Zero Degree Green Tea bottles create the perfect rhythm for a carefree day.

When stress fades, positive energy lights up again

By late afternoon, Tà Đùng appears like a living painting: a crystal-clear lake wrapped in thin clouds. The group sets up camp by the water as golden sunlight filters through the leaves.

Thư, the group’s content creator, puts down her camera, closes her eyes, and opens a bottle of Zero Degree Green Tea. EGCG and cool freshness spread across her tongue, washing away her exhaustion. “Just leaving the city, listening to the wind, and sipping tea is enough to cool the mind,” she says under the golden sunset.

Amid the vast wilderness—with wind, music, and soothing green tea—the friends realize that “chill” doesn’t require luxury. Sometimes, a simple trip, a deep breath, and a sip of Zero Degree Green Tea are enough to “cool down life,” refreshing the mind and freeing it from stress.

Night falls, and a fire crackles under the stars. The group gathers around, sharing stories of near-burnout moments and impossible deadlines. Hậu lifts his bottle, takes a sip—the natural green tea flavor blending perfectly with the warmth of the fire and the mountain breeze.

“Chilling doesn't mean being lazy. It’s pausing to cool down life,” he says, clinking bottles. Laughter echoes across the lake and mountains.

When young people pause, breathe, and “cool down” to live more positively

The next afternoon, the group sits on a grassy lakeside patch. The breeze sways their hair; the water reflects a clear blue sky. Hải Yến opens their last bottle, tapping it lightly against Hậu’s: “Zero Degree, no stress—chill a bit today to power up again tomorrow.”

On the way back, the music and refreshing coolness follow them. A seemingly short trip helped them ease pressure and cool down their lives. Gen Z today isn’t running from stress—they’re choosing to pause and calm the mind so they can return stronger and more positive.

A bottle of cold Zero Degree Green Tea is enough to make Gen Z feel 'refreshed', relieved, positive and ready for the next goals.
