At La.Kao, we aim to present Vietnamese culture through the art of tea, enhancing visitors' experiences in Hoi An. Our offerings go beyond just beverages; we encourage you to embark on a thrilling exploration journey into traditional Vietnamese tea.
Established in early 2023, La.Kao Tea House was founded to showcase premium, naturally sourced ancient Vietnamese teas in loose-leaf and pressed cake forms. We nurture close, trustworthy relationships with dedicated tea artisans from renowned regions, continuously honing their tea-processing techniques. Whether operating traditional manual methods or innovative approaches, these artisans carry ancient tea leaves' original, pure flavors into different tea types. Our tea artisans are deeply committed to the sustainable development of individual tea trees and ancient tea forests. They work closely with local communities to ensure heritage tea trees thrive and flourish through careful seasonal harvesting techniques.
La.Kao was inspired by the founder's love for tea and Vietnamese culture. Mr. An Dang grew up savoring the elegant, thick, bitter taste of green tea brewed in his grandparents' teapots. This joy of experiencing different types of tea throughout his life inspired him to create La.Kao, a charming little tea house in the heart of Hoi An's ancient town. In our comfortable and cozy atmosphere, we aim to bring guests closer to nature while nurturing human connection through the delicate flavors of our premium natural teas.
Tea is more than just a drink; it provides a pathway to serenity and tranquility. For this reason, we have designed a soothing and welcoming atmosphere that remains vibrant and accessible to all. La.Kao is a destination where individuals of all ages can come together and enjoy tea, whether you're a child celebrating your tenth birthday or an adult with years of experience. Whether your purpose is to engage in discussions about tea culture, explore the flavors of ancient teas, or simply relish each other's presence, every moment is cherished at La.Kao.
We offer a variety of ways to enjoy tea. Alongside serving tea by the pot, we also provide traditional tea-tasting sets, perfect for those wishing to explore the aroma and flavor of each tea. We invite you to join us on a tea journey, where you can select three or five teas to discover their distinctive flavors. During this exploration, we share fascinating stories about historic tea forests and the complex processing methods behind each tea. You will experience changes in aroma and flavor through multiple brewing. We pay close attention to your preferences and feedback, making adjustments to ensure that this journey is vivid and memorable for you.
Moreover, we are happy to share our recommended brewing times and water temperatures based on our experience to guarantee delightful cups of tea. However, if you are an explorer seeking a deeper connection with yourself through tea, feel free to experiment with water temperatures and steeping times. We encourage everyone to explore the characteristics of tea based on their understanding and curiosity, hoping to foster enriching conversations and contribute to the world of tea.
The team at La.Kao Tea House has all Vietnamese members, each with a unique personality. Despite these differences, we are united by a shared passion for ancient teas and a commitment to sharing this treasure with enthusiasts worldwide. At La.Kao, we invite everyone to enjoy tea on-site or place orders online, embodying our philosophy of hospitality and openness. We listen attentively to our customers, respond with care, and continually strive to deepen our understanding of global and Vietnamese tea cultures. We aim to enrich each tea serving with engaging stories that bring us closer together. And we hope that delightful Vietnamese teas will become a daily choice for tea lovers all around the world.
