Two days of tea rituals at Yum Cha experience at Shang Palace on 28-29 June

In celebration of Chinese tea culture and Shangri-La’s enduring commitment to showcasing the richness of Asian heritage, Shangri-La Colombo is hosting a rare and refined tea experience led by Tea Master Ji Shanshan on 28 and 29 June 2025 at its signature restaurant, Shang Palace.

Hailing from China, Ji Shanshan is a Certified National Junior Tea Master, an International Alliance Senior Yoga Instructor, and the Head of Tea at a Michelin-starred restaurant. With years of expertise in traditional tea ceremony, tea service etiquette, and tea pairing, she is celebrated not only for her technical mastery but for the grace and ritual she brings to every brew. Her visit marks a unique collaboration designed to transport guests through the essence of Chinese tradition — one elegant pour at a time.

Guests are invited to take part in a truly immersive Yum Cha Experience during lunch and a la carte menu dinner, where Tea Master Ji will personally present and pair exquisite Chinese teas with Shang Palace’s signature dim sum selections. Every cup served tells a story, echoing centuries of tradition, wellness, and artistry — a rare opportunity for tea enthusiasts, gourmands, and cultural connoisseurs alike.

Shangri-La Colombo General Manager Herve Duboscq said: “At Shangri-La, we believe that true hospitality is rooted in meaningful cultural exchange. By welcoming Tea Master Ji Shanshan to our table, we’re offering our guests more than a meal — we are inviting them into a timeless Chinese tradition that speaks to the heart of Asian hospitality.”

Ji Shanshan said: “Tea, like cuisine, is a language of culture. In every pour, there is history, philosophy, and connection. My goal is to share that essence with every guest who joins us.”

This collaboration underscores Shangri-La Colombo’s role as a gateway to curated, world-class experiences that honour its Asian roots while embracing a global outlook. It also reflects the brand’s dedication to elevating its culinary offerings through exceptional partnerships that celebrate tradition, innovation, and a deep respect for heritage.
