Fodor's Expert Review Reaching Out Teahouse

Amid the bustle of Hoi An is this peaceful teahouse where the quiet is partly due to the fact that the staff have hearing and speech impediments. The profound silence is almost healing, as the graceful team communicates by using wooden blocks inscribed with words (in English). Low wooden tables in the main teahouse offer street views, while those in the back garden are more secluded.

This fair-trade business also has a craft shop on Nguyen Thai Hoc that sells high-quality Vietnamese souvenirs and tea accessories hand crafted by artisans with disabilities.
