The hotter, the better

In Vietnam, it is also customary to drink tea in small sips. It is very important to concentrate on the drink while you taste it: do not be distracted by conversations and noises. This is how, according to Vietnamese, you can feel the aroma of tea and its taste characteristics. A cup of well-brewed tea is able to touch the depths of the human soul, and its smell can give an unforgettable pleasure.
