Vietnam's culinary world is not all about Pho, spring rolls, or egg coffee, but the wide selection of teas on offer also make its cuisine distinct and unforgettable.

According to tea artist Nguyen Viet Hung, enjoying lotus tea is not only about feeling the fragrance and the taste, but also a way to practice meditation.

Lotus-scented tea is a unique feature of Vietnamese tea culture. Known for the sophisticated making process, exquisite fragrance and delicate taste, lotus tea was, in the past, hailed as "Tea for the King" and is now an addictive drink of many Vietnamese.
