The shop’s story

From a small tea cart

We started with a pushcart in front of a school in District 3, where sisters Mai and Han prepared tea just the way their grandmother used to make it back in Thai Nguyen. Eight years later, the recipe remains the same—only now, there are three locations where you can sit and stay a while.

“A good cup of tea doesn’t require much—just quality tea leaves, clean water, and a thoughtful hand to brew it.”
— Nguyen Thanh Mai, co-founder
