Wai Long Hou Herbal Tea Shop has been a longstanding presence in the neighbourhood for over seven decades, weathering all the changes Sham Shui Po has seen.

Wai Lung Ho sells four traditional herbal teas that can be enjoyed warm or chilled; each brew is house-made with a different blend of ingredients and has lots of health benefits. For example, their 24-herb tea alleviates symptoms like mouth ulcers or a sore throat, and helps to cool your body internally. Those with a sweet tooth can try Wai Long Hou’s chrysanthemum tea blended with honeysuckle and snow fungus, which has a refreshing taste and can keep you hydrated after a day of exploration in Sham Shui Po. If you find herbal tea a little bitter for your taste, don’t shy from asking the store to add in honey for you.
