The inaugural event of the Alumni Tea Appreciation Club, “Chinese Tea — Savour and Speak”, was organised on 28 May 2025. Participants embarked on a sensory journey, exploring the art of Chinese tea under the guidance of esteemed alumnus Dr Bacon Ng, a renowned Chinese tea expert and registered occupational therapist.
Attendees enjoyed a live tea demonstration and tasting of various exquisite teas, including the rare and seasonal yellow tea, allowing them to experience the diverse flavours of Chinese tea. Dr Ng’s captivating presentation, which blended tea culture with rehabilitation sciences, resonated with the participating alumni. The session buzzed with interaction as the alumni tea enthusiasts eagerly posed questions and exchanged ideas with Dr Ng. Several participants also took the opportunity to engage in hands-on brewing, further immersing themselves in the craft.
After the event, many attendees stayed at the Alumni Atrium, eager to continue their discussions with Dr Ng and delve deeper into the artistry of tea appreciation. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie and a shared love for this tradition, and all looked forward to future events organised by the Alumni Tea Appreciation Club.
