Jeff Wong and Chan Sing-leuk are the advertising executives behind Black Star Liquor Co, a new drinks shop in Causeway Bay that specialises in CBD-infused alcohol
In many ways, Causeway Bay is the ideal location for a shop selling cannabidiol, or CBD, products. The hectic streets and crowded crossings of the brightly lit shopping mecca are in deep need of a little relaxation, which can now be found in a unique new shop on Haven Street. Black Star Liquor Co is a dimly lit sanctuary selling CBD-infused products—particularly alcoholic ones—sourced from near and far. While CBD, a legal derivative of the cannabis plant vaunted for its relaxing properties, is not new to the city, the store’s owners, Jeff Wong and Chan Sing-leuk, are adding a local twist to this buzzy new extract and the many products it can be found within.

How did you two meet?
Chan: We met on the creative team at an advertising agency where I still work. I’m a copywriter and Jeff is a creative director.
How has CBD helped you?
Wong: We discovered it about a year ago when we were working really long hours and under a lot of pressure. CBD helped me sleep deeply and wake up feeling refreshed. It was like magic. We wanted to create a business that would help people to feel relaxed and calm. The idea is for customers to be able to take time out for themselves and have a break.
