Description:	Hong Kong has been a place where East meets West since the 19th Century. On this piece of land, tea culture has a long history and has stood the test of time and integrated into the lives of local people. From teahouses in earlier times to the trend of tea drinking today, not only has the tea culture of Hong Kong captured the essence of the traditional Chinese tea culture, it has also established its own unique style under a pluralistic cultural environment. Changes in the habits of tea drinking have also truthfully reflected the changes in our society and lifestyle. Whether you are having tea with your family and friends or enjoying a cuppa by yourself, tea has become an important medium through which people connect and exchange with each other. This talk will explore the changes in the tea culture of Hong Kong over the past hundred years and how the culture has integrated into the lives of Hong Kong people.
