Tea Tours in Hong Kong?
Hello again,
I've been to HK a few times and I often see groups of tourists/other interested people being taken around various shopping areas on organised 'shopping' tours. So I was wondering if someone over there does a similar thing but targetting tea shops/outlets?? Whilst this approach may not be the ideal way of buying/tasting tea I think it might serve as a good introduction, at least for a newbie such as myself. Of course any tour guide would obviously take you to places where he/she were paid a good commission - but given that, I also think it'd be a good way to spend an afternoon rather than doing the usual stuff one does on vacation in Honkers; I mean one can only spend so much time at Stanley Markets ! Regards Mal Oz |

Tea Tours in Hong Kong?
Hi,
I don't think there is any tour for tea lovers in Hong Kong. But HK is small place. You won't have any difficulties finding those tea shops yourselves. You may start with this one. This shop is mainly for tourists or expats in HK, I think. They speak good English, the quality of their tea is not bad. So it's a good place to start with. http://www.mingcha.com.hk/ For the local tea lovers, they would buy tea at the more traditional tea shops like the following ones. They may not speak or speak very little English. http://www.lkytea.com/contactus.php Ngan Ki Heung Tea Co. Ltd., G/F, 290, Queen's Road, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Ming Heung Tea Co. Ltd., 77 Hau Wong Road, Kowloon City, Kowloon Hong Kong You may also like to visit our Museum of Tea Ware. http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/Art...ro/eintro.html Hope that helps.

Tea Tours in Hong Kong?
Thanks Wai, I think I agree, I hadn't seen any evidence of these types of
tours either on my last few visits, but that didn't necessarily mean there weren't any, so thought it was worth the unquiry as I am not a HK local. Yes I know Ming Cha too (well at least where it is, I haven't been there yet), it's just around the corner from where we are staying so I'll definitely add that to my list. The tea museum actually does a short intro to tea and tea culture a couple of times a week so we'll be checking that out too. Appreciate the feed back.
