Tucked beneath the stylish H Code building in HongâŻKongâs Central district, Tell Camellia stands as a creative gem in the cocktail scene. Since opening in 2019, this subterranean bar has earned its place on Asiaâs 50 Best Bars list (No.âŻ23 in 2021), a testament to its distinctive concept and execution. Specializing in tea-inspired cocktailsâor âteatailsââthe bar creatively builds each drink around a tea varietal, from jasmine and sencha to lapsang and dabjeeling. The tâtonic offerings are standout: gin redistilled with teas like jasmine or oolong, then topped with tonic to create aromatic, nuanced flavor experiences. Signature cocktails include the refreshing Tall Pine (sencha, shisho, gin, elderflower, pine)âa popular pickâand inventive twists like the Teapresso Martini, a tea-based riff on the espresso martini thatâs become a must-try. The setting is intimate and stylish, with dim lighting, wood accents, and a modern-yet-cozy vibeâperfect for date nights or relaxed chats over refined drinks. Its hidden location down a narrow alley adds to the secretive allure, rewarding those who find it. Beyond great drinks, Tell Camellia also offers interactive teatails masterclassesâguided sessions where guests learn the history of tea, infusion techniques, and even craft their own teaâbased cocktails. These experiences are both educational and delightful. Overall, Tell Camellia is a refined, creative hideaway. Itâs where tea culture and cocktail artistry meetâwelcoming yet exclusive, inventive yet approachable, and always intriguingly delicious.
