Chinese white

The roast goose is being devoured with shots of baijiu, a Chinese white spirit alcohol.

But for those who look more closely, there is the chance of a rarer prize: a glimpse of Chinese white dolphins swimming among fishing boats and cargo ships in the milky jade water.

Phil, who blends most of his own teas, kicked off the party with a Partridge in a Pear Tree, a Chinese white tea studded with pieces of dried mango and pear.

The Chinese white dolphin is rarely spotted off Hong Kong, but thanks to restrictions brought in because of the pandemic, they are making a comeback.

There have also been concerns about the environmental impact, with conservations groups saying the project may have caused serious harm to marine life in the area - including the critically rare Chinese white dolphin.
