5.00The tea ceremony was very informative. I learned a lot about Vietnamese tea and tea culture in Vietnam. I’ve taken tea classes in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan and this was one of the best classes I’ve taken. I enjoyed the hands on experience of the class - you get to brew the tea yourself instead of just drinking the tea, making the experience more enjoyable and personally. I would take a class with Tra Viet again.
