Fook Ming Tong Tea Shop, Hong Kong

Decorated in period Chinese style, this rather swish shop stocks anything to do with Chinese tea. Yixing teapots, which hold enough tea for one person, are displayed with tiny matching teacups, much like over-sized thimbles. Delicate porcelain drinking cups and hand-painted tea caddies complete the tea accessories selection. Tea tasting and on-the-spot tea blending are part of the courteous and informative service. Additional branches: Ocean Terminal , Tsim Sha Tsui ; Sogo Department Store , Causeway Bay ; Chek Lap Kok Airport departure lounge.
