To find the place is quite tricky. But we can find it thanks to review on Trip Advisor. When we find the place, we're confused, how to get it. I need to rang the bell, and a Japanese lady come to welcome us. The place is big, and quiet. But not like the ordinary cafe like i thought it was...... More

Spent a fantastic couple of hours with Vivian on our trip to HK. I'm still enjoying the variety of delicious teas which I brought back to London. Vivian obviously has a passion for tea and shared many interesting facts and knowledge which made the visit one of our favourite things we did in HK. If you're in the area then... More

We spent 4.5 hours at the tea house for a tea workshop. Much longer than I expected, but we did drink 20 plus cups of tea and learned so much. Thanks Fiona! The location is a little tricky, but go into the building entrance at the street end and some nice people will show you the lift to the tea... More

We sat down for a tasting and tried some amazing tea. A must for any tea lover! Some people have commented that it is difficult to find, but if you get the MTR to Tai Koo station and follow exit A1, the Wah Ha Factory Building is across the road! The staff were very knowledgeable and happy to answer the... More

I stopped by to purchase some tea as a gift and ended up staying over an hour sampling and talking about tea with the knowledgeable and friendly staff, Tomoko. I had previously visited the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware in Hong Kong park but this was much more enjoyable and memorable. Others have commented that it was difficult to... More

It's slightly tricky to get to (through the warehouse) but very close to the MTR & is worth the trip. We had tea with Vivian, who runs Mingcha; she is extremely knowledgeable, friendly & is certainly an expert on tea. We learnt a lot & came away with a selection of teas. Im not a tea fan, but went with... More
