1. Soba Tea
As the first cool breezes of the season arrive, people transition from cold treats to hot dishes, and clay pot milk tea seems to be the rising favorite, perfectly suited for the chilly weather. Soba Tea, one of the pioneering locations for clay pot milk tea, makes a strong first impression with its eye-catching presentation. Instead of a simple cup like other drinks, the milk tea is served in an attractive clay pot, which is visually appealing and adds to the charm. Inside, you'll find steaming milk tea topped with dried jasmine flowers, dried rose petals, and garnished with red dates and goji berries.
Soba Tea offers four varieties of roasted tea, each balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and richness, making them a healthy choice. The Oolong tea with osmanthus and green jasmine is the most recommended and is currently trending on social media. The tea is first roasted with rock sugar, then milk and other ingredients are added, heating it gently until just right. The result is a fragrant tea with a subtle sweetness, enhanced by red dates, goji berries, rose petals, or jasmine flowers. Additionally, Soba Tea is offering a promotion where you can get a free cake with your tea. Be sure to visit and enjoy this treat!

2. 4Seasons
On a cold day like this, nothing beats sipping a warm cup of tea while engaging in lighthearted chatter, right? Just a stone's throw from the Old Quarter is 4Seasons, a roasted milk tea shop that has taken over social media. Over the past three weekends, young people in Hanoi flock here to enjoy their roasted tea, filling the space to the brim and creating a lively, fresh atmosphere to usher in Hanoi’s early winter. Some customers even leave with promises to return due to the lack of available tables.
The space at 4Seasons is cozy but situated in a beautiful spot on Hàng Chiếu street. Unlike traditional milk tea, the clay pot milk tea here is handmade with multiple steps, such as roasting the tea leaves and boiling them with milk. Each small pot is crafted individually, meaning large batches are not possible. As a result, each pot takes about 7 to 10 minutes, sometimes even longer, to prepare. Served hot, the milk tea enhances the aroma of the tea and the creaminess of the milk. Additionally, the infusion of herbs and red dates imparts a unique flavor, unlike any other milk tea you may have tasted.
