Hi, it’s Hannah — the owner of Hannah’s Vietnamese Pho Restaurant in Quesnel, BC. ❤️
For the past five years, Hannah’s has been more than a restaurant to me. It has been a place where I could share a little piece of Vietnamese culture with our community — through food, stories, and sometimes, simply through a cup of tea.
Over the years, my parents would send me Vietnamese tea from home. I would brew it and share it with friends and customers at the restaurant. I began noticing how much people enjoyed it, especially those looking for herbal teas with little or no caffeine.
Their interest planted a small idea in my mind:
What if I could bring Vietnamese herbal teas to Canada and share them with more people?
That little idea stayed with me. 🌱
I began learning about tea, sourcing, importing, packaging, and everything involved in bringing a product from Vietnam to Canada. Along the way, I kept coming back to something deeply connected to my Vietnamese roots — the lotus. 🪷
And that is how Lotus Rite™ began.
Inspired by Vietnamese lotus traditions, Lotus Rite is about more than tea. It is about creating a small ritual in our busy lives — a moment to slow down, pause, breathe, and simply be present.
Our journey is just beginning, and there is still so much for me to learn. But just as Hannah’s grew with the love and support of this wonderful community, I hope Lotus Rite can grow one cup, one story, and one connection at a time.
If you’ve supported Hannah’s over the years, I would be so grateful if you would join me on this new journey too. 🪷
Follow and watch this little idea grow from Vietnam to Canada. 🇻🇳🇨🇦
With love,
Hannah
