Gongfu tea and single-origin leaves in Sheung Wan
Skip the milk tea and fruit tea that fill most Hong Kong shops. Chas By the Time pours gongfu-style tea from single-origin leaves, brewed slow, on Queen's Road Central. Seats are limited, so book ahead for the longer tastings, though tea to go is always an option.
The name treats tea as something to sit with, not rush through, closer to a tea house than a bubble tea counter. It joins a small specialty tea scene that's grown along this stretch of Sheung Wan, right beside the dried seafood shops rather than replacing them.

Crazily love this tea restaurant. Calm and chill environment with excellent quality of green/ black/ white tea. I enjoy their food and drinks. Think can stay for the whole night and afternoon x

This two-story space offers a unique experience. On the ground floor, they sell intriguing items, and you can even order takeout tea. The second floor is a tea house with a captivating concept. Many people there seem to enjoy pairing their meals with tea. We tried a tea mocktail, which was quite interesting. The tea itself is very nice and smooth, fragrant, and well-made. It’s served in a nice mocktail style, which adds to the enjoyment. It might be their policy to have one person order one drink. This is a great place to savor different styles of brewed tea.
