Renowned as the "finest tea through the ages,"
Quang An lotus-scented tea from Tay Ho ward of Hanoi is regarded as one of the
most treasured culinary heritages of the capital city. The delicate harmony
between the naturally sweet taste of premium green tea and the pure fragrance
of West Lake's Bach Diep (hundred petal) lotus creates a rare delicacy that
embodies the distinctive character of Hanoi. Behind each cup of tea with
elegant aroma lies the centuries-old craft of traditional lotus tea scenting, a
heritage passed down through generations of skilled artisans. From the
meticulous selection of tea leaves and lotus stamen to the labour-intensive
scenting and drying process that takes several days, the process reflects
extraordinary craftsmanship, patience, and unwavering dedication. Photo: Khanh
