Detailed One-Day Itinerary
Morning: Picking Tea Leaves & Learning the Lotus-Scenting Process
Start your morning with a peaceful walk through Thuy Tien’s lush tea gardens, handpicking fresh young leaves. At the workshop, learn the ancient art of lotus-scented tea making — from separating petals to sealing tea in clay jars. This hands-on experience connects you with Hue’s timeless tea culture and the tranquil rhythm of the countryside.
Afternoon: Royal Tea Ceremony & Souvenir Shopping
In the afternoon, relax in a peaceful setting and experience the royal tea ceremony of Hue. As the aroma of lotus fills the air and traditional music plays softly, you’ll learn to appreciate the three layers of flavor in each sip — aroma, taste, and lingering aftertaste.

Tips for the Thuy Tien Ancient Tea Village Private Tour
Wear Ao Dai for Tea Ceremony Photos
Enhance your experience by wearing a traditional Vietnamese Ao Dai — the perfect outfit for photos that capture the graceful essence of Hue. Soft colors such as white, pastel pink, or light blue blend beautifully with the serene tea house setting.
Tea Storage & Booking Advice
To preserve the delicate lotus scent, store your tea in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight — preferably in ceramic or wooden containers.
Since this is a private, small-group experience, it’s best to book at least 2–3 days in advance to secure your preferred schedule with the tea artisan.
