The best thing I did in Hong Kong. I have been drinking tea for over 25 years and still learned a few new things to enhance my tea experience moving forward.
At a high central spot we were met by Cecilia. She knew a lot about tea and had attended several training courses. She created a nice atmosphere. Both our children aged 11 and 13 and we enjoyed this experience and learned new things. Because we always compared our tea, we also had a lot of contact with each other. Super cozy. Once home, the first thing the children did was brew their own tea.
This tea tasting and brewing workshop was informative, fun and engaging, including for my 8 year old. The teacher was very knowledgeable and engaging.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m happy you enjoyed the Tea Tasting & Brewing Experience. Your 8-year-old was such a joy to have in the workshop. We always love having kids join because they bring great energy and they’re always so curious. Thank you again for coming, and I hope to welcome your family back for more tea next time you’re in Hong Kong!
This was a wonderful tea workshop. Learnt a lot about tea selection, as well as brewing and even my own taste. My 8 year old was able to follow and the teacher helped her where needed. I also enjoyed being able to purchase some of the teas we tried. Highly recommended for any tea enthusiast or anyone interested in learning more about tea and techniques on preparing, brewing and serving it Hong Kong style.
Hi Genevieve, Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the Tea Tasting & Brewing Experience and learned more about tea selection, brewing, and even your own taste along the way. That is exactly what the session is designed to do: help guests understand their personal preferences, then choose teas and brew them in a way that suits their palate. It was a real pleasure having your family join the workshop. We always love having kids with us because they ask the most interesting questions, and your daughter was an absolute champ following along and giving things a try. Thank you again for the recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back for more tea next time you’re in Hong Kong! Best,
I thoroughly enjoyed the tea workshop. The instructor is very knowledgable, and really made me curious to learn more. Since I was the only participant that day, she customized the experience to fit with my specific interests. I really learned a lot and had fun doing it. Recommended for both beginners and more experienced tea enthousiasts.
Hi Jan-Jelle, Thank you so much for your kind review and for recommending the Tea Tasting & Brewing Experience to both beginners and fellow tea enthusiasts! I really enjoyed customizing the session to match your interests and sharing my passion for tea with you. I hope your curiosity has continued to grow since our workshop. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We always love continuing the tea journey with our guests, even after you return home. Hope to see you again for even more tea discoveries next time you’re in Hong Kong! Regards,
This was so unexpectedly fun. The weather wasn’t looking very good so our other tour was canceled so we were looking for something to do. What a perfect choice! We got to make several different teas and our tea teacher was so friendly. There were only three of us so it felt so personal. I highly recommend this tea class. So fun!
Hi chandatorrey, So happy to hear you had such a fun time at our Tea Tasting & Brewing Experience! Sometimes the best memories come from unexpected changes in plans. We usually limit our sessions to a maximum of six tea lovers, but having just the three of you that day made it extra special. I had so much fun with you as well and loved the conversations we shared over tea! Thank you for taking the time to share your review. Hope to welcome you back for more tea the next time you’re in Hong Kong!
I had a wonderful time on the Tea Tasting and Brewing Experience, and am so glad I decided to book it. Whilst I have been drinking tea my entire adult life, I learned so much during my visit and will never think about tea in quite the same way again. During the experience, I was lucky to try some teas I had never experienced before, which were delicious. Cecilia is a fantastic host, passionate and extremely knowledgeable about all things tea. I’m really looking forward to practicing with the teas more when I arrive home. If you are looking for that something that is just a little different, this is the tour to do, you won’t be disappointed.
Hi Ann H, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review of our Tea Tasting & Brewing Experience! I truly enjoy sharing my passion for tea, and your kind words mean a lot to me. It’s always wonderful to hear that even seasoned tea drinkers discover something new and interesting during our sessions. I hope you continue to enjoy practicing with your teas at home, and I’d love to welcome you back for another unique experience in the future. In the meantime, if you have any questions about tea, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Learned a lot. The host was friendly, passionate, and made tea tasting super fun and informative. ..
It was amazing! Cecilia gave us great insights into the world of tea and even as complete beginners, we felt welcomed and we learned a lot! The time and energy that Cecilia put into our ceremony was more than we could have expected. We would highly recommend booking this event if you are interested in Hong Kong culture!
Thank you for joining us on a fun Tea Tasting & Brewing Experience. It was so great to have all of you on our recent session. You all asked such great questions, making the workshop so much more interactive. When you come back next time, we hope to see you and dive deeper into different types of tea. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the stay in Hong Kong and enjoy tea when you are back home.
The tea tasting was one of the best experiences in Hong Kong. Cecilia was so welcoming and after a short introduction the tea tasting began. Her passion and enthusiasm for tea is contagious. I can only recommend the course!
Hi Lala_summ, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us and for your recommendation. It was so much fun having you on our Tea Tasting & Brewing Experience with you. We truly love to share our enthusiasm for tea with other tea lovers or those who are curious about it and hope to elevate tea culture one sip at a time. We hope you'll come back and join us for other tea experiences soon. Regards, Cecilia
