Instead of using chemicals, villagers fertilize the soil with riverweed from the De Vong River and composted manure.

Thanks to this method, Tra Que vegetables are known for their strong aroma, natural sweetness, and crisp texture – a key ingredient in Hoi An’s famous dishes such as Cao Lau, Mi Quang, and Tam Huu (Three Friends rolls).

📜 History and the Meaning of “Tra Que”

Tra Que’s history dates back to the 16th century when the first settlers – the Pham, Mai, Nguyen, and Le families – began farming on the fertile riverbank.

The name “Tra Que” combines “Tra” (tea) and “Que” (cinnamon), symbolizing the natural fragrance of the village’s herbs – as aromatic as tea and as warm as cinnamon.

For centuries, villagers have maintained this organic farming tradition, passing down their knowledge through generations, preserving not only their livelihood but also their cultural heritage.

🪴 The Taste of Hoi An – Tra Que Herbs

Today, Tra Que Village grows more than 20 types of herbs and leafy vegetables, including mint, basil, perilla, coriander, spring onion, and lettuce.

Every crop is hand-grown, hand-picked, and rotated throughout the seasons to maintain soil fertility.

The village’s sandy loam soil, rich in nutrients from the nearby river, gives the vegetables a unique aroma and refreshing flavor.

That’s why Tra Que herbs are often called the “heritage flavor of Hoi An.”
