The best in premium, full-flavoured Chinese teas will soon be served to all Dragonair passengers. The airline has selected
oolong and jasmine teas from the famed Fook Ming Tong tea company of Hong Kong to add to its menus.
Passengers on board Dragonair flights to and from Beijing and Shanghai will be able to enjoy the teas from December 1, and
passengers on other routes from early next year.
“We are very pleased to be bringing these premium teas to our passengers as part of enhancing the overall travel experience
with Dragonair,” said Ronnie Choi, Director Customer Services.
“We chose the teas of Fook Ming Tong because it takes the tea blending and selection process very seriously, and has built a
reputation as a purveyor of high-quality teas.”
The types of tea to be served on board were selected for their popularity.
“In general, passengers from different places have different tastes,” explained Mr. Choi. “Both oolong and jasmine teas are
popular with Hong Kong people, but there is preference for the deeper-flavoured oolong among our Mainland and Taiwanese
passengers. The light and fragrant jasmine is favoured by our Japanese passengers and other nationalities.”
A Fook Ming Tong tea gift set, called “Dancing Butterflies”, will be available for passengers to buy as part of Dragonair’s duty
free inflight sales from January 1 2005. The set comprises four individually decorated tins of Chinese teas.
