MingCha Tea House, Hong Kong

I recently visited the teahouse for my birthday celebration with my husband and it was an amazing experience! We opted for the tea tasting and pairing package and it was totally worth it. We got to try four different types of tea; jasmine, green tea, red tea, and oolong. Vivian, our guide, was outstanding with her warm and welcoming personality. Her passion for tea shines through in her work and she made the experience so enjoyable for us. Her ability to cater to all levels of tea knowledge, from beginner to expert, was impressive. If you're visiting Hong Kong or looking for something special to do on the weekend, I highly recommend this experience. The pairing of tea with food was a whole new experience for us and it opened up new ways of having tea. Vivian is a master of pairing teas with unexpected foods that ended up working so well together, elevating the entire experience. The tea tasting and pairing class helped us develop a whole new appreciation for tea and we are grateful for the experience. Thanks to Vivian's expertise and passion, we now have a deeper understanding and appreciation for tea. This teahouse is a must-visit for anyone looking to broaden their tea horizons!

The tea tasting is simply brilliant and was exactly what I was looking for. Vivian is highly knowledgeable and engaging. Her session was a well-structured and practical crash-course in everything you’d want to know about tea. I learnt loads! She showed us how to brew and serve tea using both a gaiwan set and a teapot, as well as talking us through the different kinds of tea as we tasted them. The time flew by and the session was really fun, even for my girlfriend who doesn’t like tea. I strongly recommend it for all, both tea lovers and non-tea lovers alike. Before leaving, we picked out some beautiful souvenirs to bring home. I’d give more than 5 stars, if I could, as it’s a great experience.

The experience is both magical and unique. The tea tasting is very interesting and instructive. Vivian knows her job very well and is super nice! I highly recommend this place if you want to have a great time and buy tea of exceptional quality.

An amazing experience, high quality tea and great staff! The tea tasting workshop is exceptional. It is an amazing experience where I learnt about all the different types of tea, how to brew them properly and also much more. The workshop really helped me develop a deeper appreciation of tea and understand the different benefits of each tea. I had been to quite a few tea houses before my visit to MingCha, but the knowledge Vivian and her staff have and way they explain things is much better than I have experienced elsewhere. The staff members are all very friendly and were really great to interact with. Vivian was very friendly and welcoming. She is also extremely knowledgable and really takes the time to explain things properly. Apart from the workshop the tea itself is fantastic. I have never found any tea that compares to this. Vivian really takes care to explore the different tea ranges and has truly curated a very high quality range of teas that will not disappoint you. I would highly recommend a visit to MingCha to try out the tea tasting workshop (they offer an online one also). I would also highly recommend trying some of their teas. I first tried their tea in 2015 and am still buying them now.

We had a wonderful tea tasting experience at Ming Cha. Vivian was very accommodating even though our visit was unscheduled. Her presentation was so immersive that it made time fly by quickly for me. The tea available for purchase were top quality and we made several purchases for friends and for ourselves. P.S The business is located inside a commercial building accessible through an elevator inside a loading dock. Consult the website for directions, not google maps!
