A Recap of Sip & Shop Sustainably 3: Celebrating Eco-Friendly Tea Culture in Hong Kong
As tea lovers and sustainability advocates, we at Paper & Tea Hong Kong were thrilled to be part of the Sip & Shop Sustainably 3: Farmers Market Edition at The Hive Sai Kung. This event was a celebration of eco-friendly living, featuring some of Hong Kong’s most conscious local vendors.
For us, it was more than just an opportunity to showcase our high-quality teas. It was a chance to connect with like-minded individuals who share our passion for sustainability, wellness, and, of course, great tea!
Our Purpose: Bringing Sustainable Tea Culture to Hong Kong
The purpose of Sip & Shop Sustainably is simple: to bring together local businesses that emphasize environmentally friendly products and promote a more sustainable way of living. For Paper & Tea Hong Kong, this aligns perfectly with our mission to offer organically certified teas from around the world, while supporting ethical farming and eco-conscious practices.
At the event, we had the privilege of introducing our wide range of organic teas —from black tea to green tea, matcha, herbal blends, and even the uniquely aged pu-erh tea. Tea is more than a beverage for us; it’s a way of life that nurtures both the body and the planet. Through this event, we aimed to show attendees how sustainability and tea can come together in harmony.
The Highlights: Featuring Our Organic Teas
One of the most exciting aspects of the Sip & Shop Sustainably 3 event was the chance to highlight some of our best-selling and most loved teas. Here’s a recap of the teas we featured:
Black Tea: Bold and Classic
At Paper & Tea Hong Kong, we believe that black tea represents the perfect balance of strength and sophistication. Our selection of black tea ranges from the robust and malty Hariman Classic Chai to the fragrant and floral Darjeeling. Visitors at the event enjoyed sampling our black tea blends, which are perfect for a morning boost or an afternoon indulgence.
The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees appreciating the depth of flavor and the sustainable practices behind every cup. As always, our black teas are organically grown and sustainably harvested, ensuring that every sip is both delicious and eco-friendly.

Visitors enjoyed learning about the rich history of green tea, as well as its many health benefits, from boosting metabolism to improving mental clarity.
Of course, our ceremonial-grade Matcha also took center stage. Many attendees were fascinated by this powdered green tea, which offers a unique way to enjoy all the benefits of green tea in a single, concentrated form.
