Hanoi is entering days so hot it drives people crazy, the sun feels like it’s burning everything down. I always crave something cool and I went to the fresh tea shop: "Nuta". This is a newly opened tea shop by the owner whom I knew before through high-quality desserts, pate, milk tea. I have bought from her many times and realized she has a talent for cooking and making drinks. So without thinking much, I decided to stop by to try something.
Nuta is not the type of spacious, luxurious shop. The area is just enough to place a few small wooden tables, a neat beverage counter and some green potted plants to soothe the eyes. But you know what? The tidiness and cleanliness down to every corner is a huge plus. I used to buy many things from the owner before, and every time I was absolutely assured about hygiene. Coming to Nuta, that feeling remained the same, everything is neat just like her personality.
Summer in Vietnam is the season of all kinds of fruits, and Nuta takes full advantage of that. On the menu, I roughly counted more than 15 types of fresh fruit tea:
Soursop tea
Passion fruit tea
Mangosteen passion fruit tea
Mango, jackfruit, strawberry, mulberry tea
Lychee, pink guava, peach, cantaloupe tea
Ambarella pineapple tea, kumquat tea, apple lemon tea
And even “tropical” tea
What I really like about Nuta is there is absolutely no use of syrups or artificial flavors. All ingredients are fresh fruits, cleaned carefully, stored properly to retain the natural sweet taste.
Price ranges from 25,000 – 40,000 VND per cup (1 USD = ~26,000 VND). With this quality, I think it’s very reasonable!
🥭 My experience: Mangosteen tea & soursop tea – summer love
I ordered two drinks:
✔️ Mangosteen passion fruit tea – A top-notch combination. The mangosteen is still whole segments, fresh and crispy, very fun to chew. Passion fruit is lightly sour balancing the sweetness, just one sip feels like being “reset” in the summer heat.
✔️ Soursop tea – Fresh soursop with seeds intact, lightly sugared so it’s sweet and gentle, sipping while eating each segment of soursop feels wonderful.
In addition, I also tasted durian pineapple tea. Honestly, I was hesitant at first because it sounded… weird. But when I tried it, it was “wow”. The rich taste of durian combined with the slight sourness of pineapple created a very strange yet surprisingly fitting combination. You should try!
The shop is located on street 2, Phu Minh, Soc Son, Hanoi – only about 3km from Noi Bai International Airport. Very convenient if you are waiting for a flight or just landed in Hanoi and want to find a light stop.
Nuta is not noisy, not flashy. But if you are looking for a place to enjoy delicious, clean, additive-free fresh fruit tea, this is truly a “corner of youth” in the sweltering summer. And remember – don’t miss the mangosteen tea, I bet you’ll be addicted from the first sip.
