About Us

Sheung Yu Tea House was founded in 1980 by Dr. K.S. Lo, a devoted collector specializing in fine Chinese ceramics teawares and Yixing teapots. In order to promote Chinese tea culture, Dr. Lo supported the establishment of the Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware at Hong Kong Park in 1984 by generously donating many of his precious collectables to the Museum.

Sheung Yu first started the business whole-selling Yixing teapots, good quality teawares, fine Chinese ceramics and premium Chinese tea. Hoping to introduce Chinese tea culture to the public, we opened our first retail shop in 1991 inside the Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware. Over the years, our tea expert Ms. Elaine Lau and her team have been invited to perform tea-demonstrations and organize exhibitions for various organizations including the Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware, schools, government departments, the Hong Kong University etc.

Our Kowloon Shop was opened in 2000 to provide a cozy warm place for tea-lovers to appreciate tea. In the shop we offer a wide selection of teawares and tea for tea-lovers to choose and taste.
