AI Spot Summary
The overall flavor of the drinks is quite good. The Guanshan Magnolia has a dessert-like style, with a proper combination of creaminess and nutty crunch. The Boya Juexian tea has a smooth aroma, with moderate sweetness, making it suitable for those who enjoy simple tea beverages.
The shop may have a small space, but it pays great attention to detail. The design of the cups and bags is unique and suitable for taking photos. The flow of the shop is clear, with a decent amount of people, but it doesn't affect the overall experience.
The food is served quickly, and the staff actively suggests drink pairings, showing a good attitude towards service. However, the online ordering requires phone number verification, which is somewhat inconvenient for tourists.
Reviews
This place is the "Chagee" tea shop located outside the K11 Shopping Art Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. There are quite a few people, but the flow is clear, and the service speed is relatively fast. The staff proactively introduces drink pairing options, making for a pretty good overall experience.
This time, I ordered two drinks:
"Guanshan Magnolia" (medium size, no ice, slightly sweet)
HK$34
It's topped with a generous amount of fresh whipped cream and has a lot of crushed nuts on it. Although I was a bit worried it might be too rich at first, I found the flavor to be lighter than expected, with a mild milky taste and a slight crunch from the nuts. Overall, it is on the sweeter side but still acceptable. It’s more like a dessert-style drink—not something I'd want every day, but occasionally having one is quite interesting.
"Boyar's Absolute Strings" (medium size, no ice, slightly sweet)
HK$28
This tea has a more pronounced flavor, and the sweetness is just right. It's not too heavy when you drink it, but the tea aroma comes through clearly, and the texture is smooth. It's suitable for times when you want to drink tea without anything too complicated.
The shop isn't large but has some indoor seating. Although it is a chain brand, the overall details are quite refined. The cup and bag designs are unique and look great in photos. A small drawback is that online ordering requires phone number verification, which is inconvenient for tourists—we just queued up to order directly.
Overall, it's a place worth trying, especially if you're already accustomed to drinking Chagee; it's a nice spot to check out while in Hong Kong. Personally, I find the "Guanshan Magnolia" to be more special, and it’s one of the drinks that stood out to me during this trip.
