As of today, we only have this official online store.

  2. Foo Hung Curios at Chinatown (Address: 168 E Pender St, Vancouver, BC)

Please note that some of our products may not be available at our retail partners.

What's the shelf life of your products?

We recommend consuming our products within 3 months of purchase for best results.

However, black tea, freeze-dried fruits and maple sugar can generally last for 6-12 months if stored in a cool and dry place.

What's the best water temperature for tea?

Please use 100 degrees Celsius boiling water for our tea.

As the black tea we use is fermented, boiling water helps extract tea taste and aroma.

Can I reuse tea filters?

We recommend using once for each tea filter.

However, our tea filters are BPA non-intent and are safe to reuse.
