It is the season of late spring transitioning into early summer, when cicadas begin their rhythmic chorus amidst the leafy canopies.

In the cultural life of Hue, tea is not simply a beverage but a way of living imbued with ceremonial depth and aesthetic, intertwined with social conduct, the unhurried rhythm of life, and the quiet composure of the people of this ancient imperial city.
