Hue Royal Lotus Tea Making Private Class

Introduction to the Hue Royal Lotus Tea Making Private Class

The Hue Royal Lotus Tea Making Private Class offers an immersive journey into the 300-year-old art of lotus tea infusion once enjoyed exclusively by the Nguyen Dynasty. Guided by a skilled artisan, you’ll discover how royal families selected lotus from Tinh Tam Lake, infused tea with lotus essence, and preserved the refined tea culture of ancient Hue.
More than a workshop, this class is an invitation to step into Hue’s serene atmosphere and experience the delicate fragrance of lotus blended with premium green tea.

The Royal Secret: Infusing Tea with 1,000 Lotus Flowers

The royal lotus tea method is meticulous — from handpicking lotus flowers at dawn to extracting the aromatic lotus stamens and layering them with tea. This process is repeated hundreds to thousands of times to achieve a deep, elegant aroma.
This ancient technique is what gives Hue lotus tea its uniquely pure, sweet, and long-lasting fragrance.
