Hong KongTP TEA Cha Tang Hui Central Flagship Store

Food Travel Log
As a bubble tea lover, there’s no way I could leave Hong Kong without having at least one. So, I headed to the Taiwanese tea shop Cha Tang Hui!
This black tea can be summed up as an upgraded version of Afternoon Tea. The rich aroma, lingering pleasant bitterness, and sweet cane sugar fulfilled my cravings. Satisfied, I realized I’d made a mistake—there were no tapioca pearls in my order.

Insights from the Gourmet AI
TP TEA Cha Tang Hui is a brand based in Taiwan, renowned for its beloved specialty, "Cane Fragrance Black Tea." This tea combines high-quality tea leaves with the natural sweetness of sugarcane syrup, achieving a perfect balance that makes it ideal for a relaxing afternoon break. Originally, black tea was introduced to Europe from China in the 17th century, becoming established particularly in the UK as "afternoon tea." However, this tea shop infuses modern Taiwanese essence into the traditional tea culture. The preparation method is simple but emphasizes the quality of the tea leaves, with each cup being meticulously brewed. Among their offerings, Cane Fragrance Black Tea stands out for its exquisite balance of sweetness and subtle bitterness, earning it the moniker of "enhanced afternoon tea." However, the author experienced a slight mix-up with their order, as it didn't include tapioca, yet they were satisfied even without it. Next time, make sure to carefully check the menu before ordering, especially since "Cha Tang Hui," true to its name, offers a wide variety of tea options! To the tapioca-loving tea enthusiast, don't make a misstep next time!
