📜 History

Tra Chanh, or Vietnamese iced lemon tea, became a cultural phenomenon in Hanoi's street food scene. Simple plastic stools lined up along sidewalks serve this refreshing drink, creating impromptu social gatherings that are quintessentially Vietnamese. The drink combines tea with fresh lemon and sugar, served over ice. Tra Chanh spots have become important social spaces, particularly for young Vietnamese, representing the country's vibrant street culture.
