New Tea Chapter in Guangzhou

On June 18th, BaoLanHao Tea Shop held its grand opening in Fangcun, Guangzhou. This marks BaoLanHao’s second tea shop, located in Fangcun — the largest professional tea wholesale market in China.

This tea house, which has stirred great excitement among aged tea enthusiasts, holds a unique charm. Let’s explore what makes it so special.

CHAPTER O1

Traces of the Old Building

Restore the Vintage Memory, Condense the Flavor of Time

Treasures of Time, Served in a Cup

Fangcun Tea Market is a bustling tea hub crisscrossed by lanes, where a tea shop hides quietly in an alley.This octagonal building, first built in 1952, has stood for over 70 years.

Now transformed into a tea shop blending Eastern and Western aesthetics, it houses a collection of vintage teas, antique teaware, and mid-century furniture. Here, you can not only admire these timeless pieces but also sip a cup of tea steeped in the same rich notes of time.

Old Space, Timeless Beauty

BaoLanHao, with its nostalgia for the old, chooses to carry out modern renovation on old buildings — this is a way to protect old architecture.

The renovation of old buildings, however, is more beautiful than new high-rises. Old objects are a kind of sentiment: they bear the traces of time, yet they can grow more precious with the passage of time.

CHAPTER O2

Old Tea and Old Buildings

Restore the Year Memory, Condense the Flavor of Time

Contrast & Harmony

The Old Tea Museum on the first floor and the tea tasting area on the second floor bring together antiquity and modernity, light and shadow, tradition and contemporary styles.

They form striking contrasts while coexisting in perfect harmony, with textures complementing one another. The layout is neat and well-proportioned, brimming with unique charm.

Revive Heritage, Blend Old and New

The best way to revitalize old things is to put them back into use. This applies to aged tea, vintage tea wares, classic furniture and historic buildings. Thanks to visitors coming to the tea shop, their charm shines once again.

The years witnessed by the building are carefully preserved, while modern elements are subtly integrated. Such integration never ruins the aged marks or the inherent vibe of the space, but blends seamlessly with the original character of the architecture.

For BaoLanHao, this place is a perfect home for tea. As a brand focused on vintage aged tea, it shares a natural affinity with the character of this old building.
