At a press conference on Friday, it was announced that the first edition of the Viet Nam Tea Culture Festival 2022, themed ‘The Essence of Vietnamese Tea’, will take place on Tran Phu Street, Hoi An City, Quang Nam Province, from December 30 through January 1.

Quiet atmosphere, relaxed spirit, and beautiful and meticulous preparation techniques are what we refer to the culture of tea ceremony.

Co-organised by the Hoi An City authorities and the Thao Bach Viet Co., Ltd., the festival will feature a number of outstanding activities, including the display of models of ancient houses, and tea ceremony space.

Tea is a plant-based beverage that has been shown to have many nourishing properties.
