Being a “melting pot” of racial diversity, the tea culture that was brewing in Singapore was as myriad as the local population. A population where tradition, beliefs and identities blended with one another.
To start the day, have breakfast in an old coffee shop shophouse Here, you will get your first taste of a local breakfast tea, accompanied with a traditional Singaporean breakfast.
Next, find yourself in an old Chinese tea-house that has withstood the test of time. Witness the tea creation process from leaf to cup. You will then get to try your hand at wrapping tea leaves, the traditional Chinese way.

Travelling from Chinatown to Amoy Street, learn about the early immigrants that came to Singapore in search of a brighter future. Stop to try a cup of Teh Tarik, a version of tea brought to Singapore by Indian-Muslim immigrants. Be fascinated by the process of tea “pulling” back and forth between 2 cups. This is done to cool the tea, and create a froth at the top. It’s like making a Cappuccino, but with tea!
The final leg of the tour will take you to a modern tea atelier that takes pride in blending their own local inspired flavours. Here, you will blend your own personalized flavour, and put your sense of smell to the test!
End the tour with a special souvenir from us, and perhaps also with a fresh perspective of your new favourite beverage.
