The art of tea is a difficult one, from the choice of tea itself, its preparation, the action of boiling the water, brewing it, distributing it in the cups to let all the aroma escape, to the moment when you sit down and savour its quintessence with measured gestures, with all your senses and all your soul.
Since time immemorial, the Vietnamese have known how to flavour their tea with numerous species of flowers: lotus, jasmine, chloranthes, chrysanthemums, etc. Combining the scent of tea with floral fragrances, they are able to enjoy all the fragrances of heaven and earth.
Each flower gives the tea its own special aroma, but the most original is the lotus.
On the lotus pond, in the evening, in a small boat, you approach the flowers and insert a small tea bag inside each one, soaking up all the scents and vital forces of the flower.

This large statue depicts the standing "Laughing Buddha" wearing a necklace of pearls of wisdom in his left hand and a ball in his right hand known as the ball of wealth. A large solar disc, symbolizing light, illuminates the Buddha's smile. The meaning of the laughing Buddha with beads and/or a ball of wealth is that of meditation. The representation of the wealth ball is a sign of wealth and prosperity.

- Blown Glass Ewer - Murano - Art Nouveau - Period: Early 20th CenturyLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRBeautiful ewer in white Murano glass, blue and red watermarked, mouth-blown. Until the 17th and 18th centuries, ewers were used to serve drinks. Generally made of gold or silver precious metal, finely sculpted and chased, it takes the form of an elegantly shaped vase, generally taller than it is wide, mounted on a foot, with a spout and handle. Its name comes from the word aigue, meaning water in Old French (as does the locality of Aigues-Mortes). The ewer was widely used throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In the 18th century, it was replaced by the crystal carafe and the earthenware water jug. The water jug was originally designed to serve water on tables. It was also used for washing.
