Celebrating five years of redefining the non-alcoholic drinking experience, Saicho—the beloved sparkling tea brand —marks its anniversary with a pair of East-meets-West collaborations.

This summer, Saicho has teamed up with two uniquely Hong Kong icons: the traditional red-sailed Aqualuna boat and the luxurious Island Shangri-La hotel.

First up is a decadent dim sum cruise on board Aqualuna. From now through summer, guests can board the 75-minute afternoon voyage and indulge in a photogenic spread of dim sum plus afternoon tea set experience on Victoria Harbour.

Think truffle har gau, black garlic siu mai, wagyu beef puff, and more — balanced by an elegant spread of British-style pastries like chocolate mousse, opera cake, and mini tiramisu.

Each set is served with a flight of Saicho’s signature sparkling teas: Jasmine, Hojicha, and Darjeeling.

Priced at HK$469 per person, every guest also leaves with a mini bottle of Saicho—a ‘Taste of Hong Kong’ you can take home. Bookings are available via Aqualuna’s website here.

Meanwhile, over at Island Shangri-La, Saicho is rolling out a month-long customer appreciation campaign from Aug. 1 to Aug. 31, 2025.

Tea lovers who spend HK$1,000 or more on Saicho will unlock the “Anniversary Journey,” which begins with access to a special quiz celebrating the brand’s heritage.

The participant with the most creative answer will win a luxurious one-night stay for two people at Island Shangri-La’s Grand Premier Harbour View Room, breakfast included.
