The Top 5 Teas for Spring in Hong Kong
As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, it’s time to enjoy the fragrant and delicious teas of spring. Here are some of the top teas to look for in spring time.

While fresh fruit may be a few months away still, these fruity teas will remind you of the bounty of warmer seasons. Fruity teas can be light and aromatic or sweet and rich, and span a wide range of tea types, including black, green, oolong, white, and herbal. Some of our best-selling teas are fabulous fruit-forward concoctions that are sure to put a smile on your face even if there’s still snow on the ground!

- Oolong Teas
Oolong teas are partially oxidized, meaning that only a portion of the leaves have been allowed to darken and turn black. Oolong teas fall somewhere in between black teas, which are fully oxidized, and green teas, which are heated soon after the leaves are harvested in order to halt oxidation completely. Oolong teas can range from delicate, orchid-like brews to rich, buttery varietals. Light and mellow but with a satisfying body and a crisp, clean finish, oolong teas are the perfect teas to welcome spring with.

- White Teas
Among the most delicate and highly-sought-after types of tea, white teas undergo minimal processing after they are harvested from the tea plant. White teas are typically air-dried, and experience a small amount of oxidation through natural exposure to the air. Light, bright, and clean, white teas often have natural fruity and floral notes, with a finish like crisp apples and spring rain.
Our White tea: Organic White Peony Tea
- Rooibos
Redbush (or Rooibos in Afrikaans) is made using the freshest leaves of the Redbush plant. The beating hot sun in the Western Cape province of South Africa gives the tea its juicy, refreshing flavour and copper-red colour. Because it's full of anti-oxidants and naturally caffeine-free, you can drink Redbush day or night. Just shut your eyes and savour each sip of sunshine.

Tea Time in Spring Time
While many people associate a cozy cup of tea with the depths of winter, we like to think of tea as the perfect year-round beverage. Whether you’re enjoying a light, floral, or fruity cup of tea in the springtime, a glass of refreshing iced tea in the summer, or a warming, nourishing cup in the cooler months, tea can be a tasty and healthful habit in any season. No matter what kind of tea you enjoy drinking, a good cup of tea can be an oasis of calm and relaxation in the midst of a busy day. Happy spring and happy sipping!
