Hong Kong’s beloved fast-food chain launches revamped Ceylon milk tea series, offering free vouchers, discounted set meals, and interactive challenges across six locations this July.
Hong Kong residents with a taste for the city’s iconic beverage have reason to celebrate this summer. Fairwood, one of Hong Kong’s leading fast-food chains, has announced a comprehensive upgrade to its Hong Kong-style milk tea recipe, rolling out a series of promotional events throughout July and August. Starting July 11, the chain will deploy a promotional vehicle through Causeway Bay and Mong Kok while setting up “Ah Wood Milk Tea Academy Challenge Stations” at six designated outlets, giving customers the chance to score free and discounted tea vouchers, including a HK$10 set meal featuring shredded pork with pickled mustard greens soup vermicelli paired with a cup of the newly reformulated milk tea.
The initiative marks a significant investment in product quality for Fairwood, which has committed to meeting four exacting standards for its upgraded “Ah Wood Ceylon Hong Kong-Style Milk Tea” series: rich tea aroma, silky smooth texture, full-bodied flavor, and optimal serving temperature. The new lineup includes both the classic Ah Wood Ceylon Hong Kong-Style Milk Tea and the specialty Ah Wood Ceylon Red Bean Milk Tea.
Promotional Highlights and Events
The promotional campaign offers multiple avenues for customers to enjoy savings:
- Mobile Giveaway (July 11): Fairwood’s promotional vehicle will tour Causeway Bay and Mong Kok. Customers who like or follow Fairwood’s official social media pages will receive a free voucher for a hot Ah Wood Ceylon Hong Kong-Style Milk Tea.
- Challenge Station Rewards: At participating outlets, customers who successfully complete a tongue twister within four seconds at the “Ah Wood Milk Tea Academy Challenge Station” will receive a voucher for a HK$10 set meal, comprising a mini shredded pork with pickled mustard greens soup vermicelli and a hot Ah Wood Ceylon Hong Kong-Style Milk Tea.
- Bundle Purchase Bonus: Purchasing an “Ah Wood Ceylon Hong Kong-Style Milk Tea” ticket bundle—10 cups for just HK$99, averaging HK$9.9 per cup—entitles customers to a free voucher for an iced Ah Wood Ceylon Red Bean Milk Tea. This brings the effective price per cup down to as low as HK$8.
