With so many take away tea place in Hong Kong, there's a new one to enter the market. Flamingo Bloom, located in Central, is a brighter, hipper version of the usual Share Tea, Gong Cha places.Pretty in pink with flamingos galore, there was quite a line during opening month. Why? There was a buy one get one free offer and I dragged boyfriend there to share a cup of tea. However, we arrived at 7:50 PM. 10 minutes to go before the buy one get one free offer ends.

Pretty in pink with flamingos galore, there was quite a line during opening month. Why? There was a buy one get one free offer and I dragged boyfriend there to share a cup of tea. However, we arrived at 7:50 PM. 10 minutes to go before the buy one get one free offer ends. WE WERE JUST IN TIME!
The shop is geared for takeaway but there are several places available for dining in.
Menu is in English and Chinese. Base teas are oolong, pu'er, jasmine and black tea leaves. From there, you can add items like fresh fruit, salty milk caps and latte versions. You can add boba, aloe or even change it up with a bit of almond milk.
Honey Orchid Black Tea ($26). Boyfriend ordered this. The tea was fragrant and lightly sweetened. There was also lemons added to give it a citrus taste. Or as boyfriend said, over priced ice lemon tea.
Highland Oolong ($33). I liked this one more and what I ordered. The tea leaves were much better. Fragrant and it felt like I was drinking flowers more than tea.
As each cup is individually made, there is good wait time for your tea to be made. I think we waited 10 minutes. The teas were good but I've had better. It's good that they give you different varieties of the basic tea leaves offered and for that, I will be back.
