The Barn creates an innovative platform that integrates education, cultural tourism, and cross-disciplinary artistic exchange, anchored in services to preserve and promote Chinese tea culture.—Ms Juliana Yu, Managing Director of HKI Tea Development Limited
The Barn honours the legacy of the Yu family tea business and operates as a prestigious brand under the HKI Group. As a tea brand rooted in Hong Kong, supported by our motherland and closely-connected to the world, The Barn offers a diverse selection of premium tea products while fostering emotional connections with curated tea-related services. With its own tea estates, the Brand is dedicated to providing an extensive range of offerings, including tea banquets, tea culture education, artistic event planning, and custom tea gifts etc, all designed to promote Chinese tea culture.
The Barn preserves the traditions and essence of Chinese tea, offering a comprehensive range of healthy tea products and gift sets for the urban elite. The Brand continuously refines its offerings to align with the rhythm of city life and adapting to seasonal changes and customer preferences.
Rooted in Hong Kong, The Barn has strategically expanded into key cities across the Mainland. The Brand’s tea culture in Kwun Tong serves as a platform for promoting tea culture, which is a confluence of educational programmes, cultural tourism and cross-disciplinary artistic exchanges. The Brand actively collaborates with prominent figures in the literature and arts to orchestrate tea gatherings, art exhibitions and concerts. Through strategic partnerships with high-end hotels, grade-A office buildings and landmark shopping malls, The Barn has established experience stores that offer one-stop service for tea tasting, retail and cultural experiences. Over the years, the Brand has received awards from various organisations, including Hong Kong Tourism Board, Hong Kong Brand Development Council, "Hong Kong Commercial Daily", Metro Radio, etc.
Demonstrating its commitment to corporate social responsibility, The Barn actively promotes tea culture heritage through various initiatives. These include financing tea culture exchange spaces at educational institutions, sponsoring student culture research trips to Mainland China and offering tea courses in collaboration with schools and institutions. Furthermore, the Brand actively conducts tea culture nurturing programmes in the community, delivering the essence of Chinese tea to every household.
