Connoisseur Groceries
It is the result of a rethinking of our modern lifestyle. Being ‘Green’ should not be just a slogan. Hong Kong has many traditional practices and foods. But these are fading away. These are things that we value. We hope that we can keep them with us - alive and popular. Hong Kong produces far more than money and property and financial wealth. We hope for a sustainable economy. We also want to share our contribution in ending poverty so we support fair trade.
**Waste Reduction and Bring your own Containers**
Nowadays we have the latest technology, however sometimes it seems that we are going backwards in many ways of our daily lives. At times it seems that the major product of our lives is waste because of all the excess packaging. When we are talking about organic, it is about protecting our earth. One of the ways to improve and protect our land is to reduce waste. So we have unpackaged goods that you can buy by the gram. Buy only as much as you need. And please - bring your own bag and container. Like we used to in times past. An old fashioned way to go shopping, it is a practice worth keeping. We hope that via Connoisseur Groceries this old idea can be refreshed in our daily lives. Please BYOC and we will give you a 5% discount or a small gift. We will wrap your dry goods in paper or in a paper bag if you forget to bring a container. Wet goods (sauces etc) will be placed in recycled and cleaned jars for you. If you request for a new plastic tray, $2 will be charged for each container. If we are running out of jars and we shall charge $2 for any new plastic tray used. Recycling
One great way to reduce waste is to reuse waste. Giving back a purpose to what has been used and would normally be discarded.
**Reusing Soy Milk bottles and Tofu trays**
Rinse out your used Connoisseur brand soy bottles and tofu trays and return them to us. Collect ten of them, bring them back to us and you can save $1 on your shopping. We send them on to So Soap. Fairtrade
We support Fairtrade. We hope to alleviate exploitation and poverty. So we carry a selection of good quality Fairtrade products. Support high quality locally made goods. Many of the products made here in Hong Kong are of great quality. So it is not always essential to import goods. This can reduce our carbon footprint. For your benefit we are working to increase our range of goods so we can provide for more of your daily needs especially when it comes to locally made.
