Hanoi indigenous spices & herbs journey

What creates the astonishing richness of Vietnamese cuisine lies in the diversity of ingredients and the myriad ways they are used and cooked. This bounty is gifted by nature’s variety, yet it also challenges people to maintain their health amidst weather changes throughout the year.

From ancient times, the Vietnamese have refined the art of using herbs to safeguard their well-being, subtly incorporating them into dishes and teas. Therefore, it can be seen that each dish might be seasoned with a unique herb or accompanied by a tea that changes in every single season.
