The Barn: A Place where Teas and Friends Meet

The Barn (HKI Tea Development Limited) is a tea culture company under the Hong Kong International Group (HKI Group). At the turn of the millennium, the HKI Group, at the behest of the Cultural Bureaus of Beijing, has to preserve a Ming dynasty imperial barn while developing the new commercial project Nanxinchang International Tower. Thus, in 2007, HKI Group commissioned a famous Hong Kong designer to restore the site, turning it into a modern clubhouse and event venue while preserving the original outlook of the imperial barn. This coined The Barn's present name. The clubhouse was later relocated to Beijing Fortune Plaza in Dongsanhuan Road. The Barn's mission is to provide a place for like-minded elites to gather and savour premium tea, while making new friendship.

The HKI Group plans to enter the tea industry under the brand of "The Barn". A recognition to the importance placed on friendship in Chinese tea culture, this is also a move to develop The Barn into a internationally renowned name for good tea. The Barn was established in Beijing in 2012, with its first tea shop opened at the Beijing Fortune Plaza. Businesses later expanded to Chongqing and Chengdu.

In 2016, The Barn was established in Hong Kong, with a mission of becoming The Barn where friends and teas meet in Hong Kong. The headquarter is located at the HKI Building in Kwuntong, the core of east Kowloon. With a tea culture area of more than 30,000 sq ft, The Barn Hong Kong provides tea tasting and exhibition area, tea culture activity area, tea storage and experience workshop, tea and wine culture area and art gallery. The spacious HKI Building frequently hold cultural activities such as calligraphy and painting exhibitions and workshops. It is also a prime location for corporate, charity and education activities such as tea gathering, party, seminar, exhibition and workshop. The HKI Group plans to develop this location into a hub for Hong Kong's tea industry, further promoting the historical tea culture of China.
