Why You Should Be Going For Singapore’s First Ever Tea Festival

by SOFIA KIM  /   July 6, 2017

If you’re a caffeine addict but prefer sipping on English Breakfast than a cuppa, then you definitely have to check out our city’s  first ever tea festival, happening at Ion Orchard on 22 and 23 July in conjunction with the annual Singapore Food Festival. Organised by local heritage tea retailer The 1872 Clipper Tea Co., the highly anticipated festival aims to celebrate the beverage with a three-day affair showcasing a total of 17 home grown tea and lifestyle brands. Below, we present the four highlights to look out for at the festival.

Why You Should Be Going For Singapore's First Ever Tea Festival
#1: The Tea Room

Here at the tea room, customers can try their hand at making their own brews with a series of tea-themed workshops and creative craft sessions. The experience will allow you to learn more about the history and rich culture of tea. The entire workshop runs from 10am to 5.30pm on 22 July, with a total of four sessions, and 11am to 3.30pm on 23 July, with just two sessions on the second day. Each session will be conducted by different organisations so no lesson is alike. If you’re really keen on this programme, sign up here.

#2: The Tea Museum

And if you really dig learning more about the intricacies of tea, then head over to the museum to discover the origins of the aromatic beverage and its rise to prominence.

#3: Teapitiam

Teapitiam (a fun local play on the words tea and Kopitiam) is a pop-up cafe offering modern tea bites created by iconic local chefs. Organised by Burpple, one of Singapore’s most credible food recommendation platforms, this pop-up will feature an array of tea-inspired foods made from the chefs of renowned cafes and restaurants such as Birds of Paradise and The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.

#4: Tea Market

Just like every other marketplace, you can shop and sample new tea offerings and flavours from a range of artisanal homegrown tea brands such as A.muse Projects (which also serves up coffee, cocktails and wine) and Chinese tea experts, Tea Chapter. Other newer players include Pin Tea (known for their floral-themed teas) and Infusion-de-vie, which has organic cold brews and tea blends infused with organic Chinese herbs. But here’s what we are most excited about: The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. will be launching its latest National Day collection of teas inspired by the common drinks found at local hawker centers.
