• Tea Workshop Led with Heart

  Visiting MingCha was a memorable tea experience and a highlight of our visit to Hong Kong. Although I come from a Chinese heritage, growing up in the United States meant my exposure to tea and its cultural depth was limited. This workshop offered a meaningful and grounded introduction that deepened my understanding of tea. The workshop was led by Vivian, whose passion and knowledge were evident from the start. Rather than treating tea as something to categorize or judge, she guided us through a sensory exploration of several teas, showing how flavor and character are shaped by origin, cultivation, timing, and day-to-day production. We learned to taste dry leaves, smell wet leaves, steep tea properly, and notice how aromas and textures evolve with each infusion. What stood out most was the holistic approach to tea drinking. Vivian encouraged us to trust our own senses and preferences, emphasizing that there is no single “right” way to experience tea. The workshop focused less on rules and more on developing a personal and experiential relationship with tea. Thoughtfully curated tea-and-food pairings added another dimension, making each tea more vivid and expanding my view of how tea can be enjoyed in everyday life. With Vivian’s warmth, humor, openness (and Vanessa’s background support), the experience felt relaxed, engaging. I would highly recommend MingCha’s tea workshops to anyone interested in tea, culture, or a more mindful approach to tea drinking.

  What an awesome experience! I learned a lot about tea from Vivian and Vanessa. Their warmth, authenticity and genuine caring came through immediately. Vivian is funny and speaks her mind making this an interesting and knowledgeable experience. We tried Jasmine tea, Longjin, oolong and green tea. I had the best time here. It took me a minute to find it (directions and photos on the website at Mingchatea.com) but it was well worth the effort. Vivian is outstanding!!

  It was such a wonderful experience with Vivian. I’m originally from China and I’ve always thought I knew enough about tea already. But surprisingly I learned so much from Vivian! The workshop is well structured and very interactive. We tried 4 different kinds of tea which are all quite special. Vivian is heart-warming, extremely insightful, funny and professional. She made this tea experience so special that this is one of the highlights for us in Hongkong! Would love to come back!

  I went with my boyfriend, and personally, I think this experience is a great date for tea lovers. The host, Vivian, was very patient and welcoming to people with all types of backgrounds and knowledge. What I loved best is that she is very charismatic. The presenter is extremely passionate about her craft and a genuine tea connoisseur. If we let her, she would never stop talking about tea. Highly recommend!

  We had a wonderful time at the Tea Tasting and Pairing Concept Workshop. Vivian, our instructor, was fantastic. Her deep knowledge and love for tea made the experience so special. She taught us how to brew a perfect cup of tea with such enthusiasm. I learned a lot and had fun pairing teas with different flavors. I’d highly recommend Vivian’s workshop to any tea lover!

• Fun afternoon tea tasting!

  This was a fun and engaging workshop where we not only tasted tea, but got to learn about the different types of teas, did some before and after experimentation with tea leaves, learned how to seep and pour tea properly and got to sample the most beautiful tea presentation ever with the unique Jasmine Blossom, a specialty of the tea house. Vivian was so fun, funny and engaging - would highly recommend! One note is that to get to the tea house you have to go through the garage and up the elevator - thankfully when we looked lost outside a local person directed us!

  

  

• Vivian’s delightful tea party

  Vivian’s Tea Party at Ming Cha Tea House was one of the best parts of our trip to Hong Kong. Just a short trip outside the city, it felt like stepping into Vivian’s own cozy world of tea. The tasting was thoughtful and beautifully done, but what truly stood out was Vivian herself—friendly, vibrant, and full of personality. She shares stories and knowledge in a way that feels personal, like catching up with a close friend over tea. I’d recommend this to anyone who loves food, tea, or connecting with local culture. Vivian’s warmth makes the experience more than just a tasting—it’s heartfelt and memorable. You’ll leave feeling like you’ve made a friend *and* learned something new. Don’t miss the chance to learn more about tea in such a welcoming, joyful way

  Thoroughly informative and enjoyable tea tasting at the MingCha Tea House in Chai Wan with tea master Vivian with support from Vanessa! What a wonderful workshop - we were a family group of two adults, one senior, and two teens (ages 10 and 13) and Vivian was inclusive and relatable to everyone in our party. She was personable, knowledgeable, and funny! We picked up several herbal teas to bring home at the end of the experience and can't wait to steep them once we arrive home! Do not miss this authentic unique experience if you're in Hong Kong!
