Exhibition toasts tea devotee K S Lo
************************************

     More than 30 years ago, Vitasoy Group founder K S Lo, who was then an Urban Councillor, suggested conserving Flagstaff House - the former office and residence of the Commander of the British Forces - by turning it into the Museum of Tea Ware. Mr Lo also donated about 600 tea sets collected from China and overseas to the museum.

     To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Asia's first tea ware museum, a year-long exhibition, "From Soya Bean Milk to Puer Tea", is being held to showcase more than 80 tea sets and chart Mr Lo's story as a tea connoisseur and collector.

     News.gov.hk spoke with the museum's curator about some of the unusual tea ware designs and how each tea set reflects the unique culture of the time when it was made.

     The story appears on news.gov.hk today (November 30) in both text and video format.
