The idea originates from Taiwan and quickly spread among Asian teens, and Vietnam has not been late for the party.

In Vietnam, the craze first touched down in Saigon, and quickly spread to Hanoi.

The unusual way of drinking tea has made many try it... just to take selfies.

To take the “cute trend” to a higher level, Hanoi and Saigon’s cafes are printing pictures on the bulbs, tying bows around their necks and customizing them for patrons.
