Hong Kong’s beloved tea brand Sleep 5 More Minutes (再睡5分鐘) is turning up the heat this September with a brand-new, limited-time Watermelon Series that promises to deliver pure, sun-ripened refreshment. Starting September 1, customers can quench their thirst with two handcrafted beverages made from 100% freshly pressed Taiwanese ripe watermelon juice, alongside a lineup of exclusive promotions and a festive Mid-Autumn gift box.
Two New Ways to Sip Summer
The star of the series is the Watermelon Apple Iced Tea (HK$33), a tangy-sweet fusion that pairs the natural sweetness of ripe Taiwanese watermelon with a subtle tartness from green apples. Available with either a jasmine-infused Afternoon Jasmine Green Tea or Four Seasons Jinxuan base, this drink balances fruitiness with floral undertones—ideal for cutting through the humidity of Hong Kong’s lingering summer heat.
For those craving a creamier indulgence, the Cotton Watermelon Sashimi (HK$37) transforms fresh watermelon juice into a velvety, pastel-pink slushie. Topped with a signature 3-centimeter thick salted cheese foam, the drink offers a sweet-and-savory contrast that has become a hallmark of the brand. Both options can be customized with the same two tea bases.
September Promotions: Free Add-Ons and Delivery Discounts
Sleep 5 More Minutes is rolling out a series of time-sensitive deals throughout the month:

Mid-Autumn Treat: Brittany Sand Cookie Gift Box
In celebration of the approaching Mid-Autumn Festival, the brand is also introducing a Brittany Sand Cookie Gift Box (4-piece assorted set). This French-meets-Taiwanese creation incorporates the signature Afternoon Jasmine Green Tea flavor into buttery, golden cookies made with premium European fermented butter. Each 1.5-centimeter-thick cookie boasts a crisp, crumbly texture and comes in two varieties: Classic Afternoon Jasmine Green Tea and Strong Tea Afternoon Jasmine Green Tea.
The gift box includes a Buy-One-Get-One-Free drink voucher valid for any beverage. From September 1–13, customers can add the box to any drink purchase for just HK$99 (regular price HK$109). From September 14–30, two boxes are available for HK$199.
Note: Promotional prices are not applicable at Kwai Fong Metroplaza and Hong Kong International Airport locations.
What This Means for Hong Kong’s Tea Scene
As local consumers increasingly seek out seasonal, farm-to-cup experiences, Sleep 5 More Minutes’ focus on single-origin Taiwanese watermelon and transparent ingredient sourcing signals a growing trend toward freshness and traceability in Hong Kong’s competitive bubble tea market. The addition of a premium Mid-Autumn gift option also reflects how tea brands are expanding beyond drinks into lifestyle gifting—tapping into festive traditions while appealing to younger, Instagram-savvy audiences.
Whether you are chasing the perfect thirst-quencher or hunting for an early holiday present, this limited series offers a window into the brand’s evolving identity: rooted in Taiwanese comfort, but always innovating for Hong Kong’s discerning palate.
