DNO - At 90 Ba Huyen Thanh Quan Street, Da Nang, SANH Coffee and Tea offers stillness, stories and a taste of Vietnam’s soul, one handcrafted Vietnamese tea cup at a time.

Every Sunday from 2:00 to 3:00pm, the café hosts the ‘Conversations Over Tea’, an intimate tea-tasting hour that blends sensory discovery with cultural storytelling.

Guests are invited to savor four distinct Vietnamese teas: from the high-altitude Shan Tuyet green tea, crisp and airy like early spring, to lightly fermented white tea that glides with clarity and depth. The session continues with yellow tea steeped in wild floral notes and finishes with a summer-soft oolong infused with ylang-ylang.

But this is more than a tasting. It’s a quiet immersion into Vietnamese craftsmanship. SANH sources only local teas, grown, harvested, and processed by Vietnamese hands. The café’s minimalist setup, just a few wooden tables and eight seats, invites conversation, not consumption.

“SANH began with a simple wish—to connect people, both in Vietnam and abroad, with the beauty of Vietnamese-grown produce, one familiar drink at a time” , said Ly Minh Bao, the co-founder of SANH.

If you long for a quiet hour, one that refreshes the heart, awakens the palate, and lets the humble story of tea slip gently into your busy Sunday, take a seat at SANH.
