Review Body: A great experience to discover Vietnamese tea and the culture surrounding tea in Vietnam. The workshop venue is remarkable in itself: a finely decorated tea room in a building that has retained its original character, allowing you to imagine the building's former importance. The explanations provided on tea were very comprehensive without being too complex, in a good atmosphere, etc. In the country of coffee, we had questions about a tea tasting... and yet we loved it, so much so that we went to the shop where the host buys tea to buy some of the teas tasted. Worth doing!

Review Body: The tea experience was so rewarding! We learned an enormous amount about tea in Viet Nam and how it differs from other cultural expressions of tea drinking in other countries. And we had a great time tasting all the different teas and how their flavor varied based on time and temperature. A great experience in a gorgeous space! Thank you!

Review Body: This was by far my favourite experience in Ho Chi Minh City. I learned a lot about Vietnamese tea culture, got to try several different teas, and was introduced to a new brewing technique. Ang is a wonderful and deeply knowledgeable host, and the venue is really beautiful. Overall, this was a lovely, calming experience.
