    I loved this experience. We tried four different teas and learned about how to brew and serve a proper cup of tea. Oue tea master was knowledgeable, engaging and most of all, kind. She helped us get a taxi back to our hotel and waited with us until it arrived.

    In the workshop, the instructor introduced us to various types of Chinese tea in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, yet they were also able to professionally answer our questions. Through the workshop, I learned the art of tea brewing, the classifications of tea, its history, production methods, and tasting techniques. Regardless of whether you have no prior knowledge of tea or already have some understanding, you can participate in the workshop. This is because the instructor can tailor the content to enhance your understanding of Chinese tea based on your current knowledge level. Most importantly, we were free to take photos and record videos throughout the process, which provided a truly fulfilling experience for both my friends and me.

    This is a unique workshop. It's about more than what might think of as the bare minimum of tea tasting. It's also about experiencing, sharing and learning flavours, techniques and histories associated with tea. It was my birthday on the day we went, and they certainly made it special! Thank you so much!

    I just started my tea journey this year, and signed up for the tea tasting and pairing workshop. I enjoyed Vivian's creative, unconventional attitude towards tea. The pairing selections we learned were nice, and something that I'll try to recreate at home. I did purchase a pack of jasmine blossoms and a tea sampler after the class, and am very happy with both products. The Jasmine Blossoms make for an amazing iced tea! I also especially enjoyed the 9-pack sampler of Mingcha's premium teas, which is something that I couldn't find at other tea shops that I visited while I was in Hong Kong.

    Found Ming Cha by searching the best tea houses in Hong Kong and was not disappointed. Vivian was helpful about my questions from the beginning. She provided an encouraging and positive atmosphere with her humorous way of introducing her craft to different types of people-- to someone like me, who has little knowledge about tea and to those like my partner who is a tea enthusiast. I learned a lot about brewing tea and my partner enjoyed discussing insights about tea with Vivian. We highly recommend this tea house for people who are starting to dive deeper in the world of tea drinking. Next time, we hope they could also provide tea seminars that will give us deeper insights on traditional Chinese tea culture just like how Vivian shared about the processes in making and brewing her Jasmine blossoms tea.
