Drinking up on Vietnam’s tea culture

A tea server slowly pours tea into cups from a teapot. The pouring is performed beautifully, in a manner known as ‘high mountain-long river', which helps the scent of the tea spread. Gracefully offering guests, she holds a cup with three fingers offering the tea as ‘three dragons flanking a pearl'. That's only a snapshot of the tea drinking culture of the Vietnamese people.
