- Tigon A2 contributionsLearning to sip tea the right way.I’m not a tea connoisseur but I would like to enjoy tea like how it should be. It was a nice, pleasant and knowledgeable experience.

- Rodrigo ARio de Janeiro, RJ4 contributionsExperience the Magic of Tea at Tea ChapterTea Chapter is a mighty fine place for tea lovers, I tell you! The atmosphere is so peaceful and cozy, it makes you feel right at home. The selection of teas is top-notch, offering some darn good flavors. We tried the Shui Jin Gui, which means "Golden Turtle" in Chinese, and it was a wonderful experience. The folks working there really know their stuff and guide you on how to brew the tea just right. With some tasty snacks to go along, Tea Chapter is a special spot for anyone wanting to enjoy and learn more about tea, whether you're an expert or just curious.Visited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten May 25, 2024
- CYPCebu City, Philippines84 contributionsCozy tea experienceThe tea place is very cozy an old house converted into a tea house. Choose from different types of seating - japanese, korean or oriental. The staff is helpful and taught us how to brew the tea we ordered.Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 20, 2024
- Ling Y1 contributionUnique and Wonderful Tea ExperienceWe visited Tea Chapter as it was an activity option via Go City Pass. What a wonderful and educational experience. Our pass have included us trying the Imperial Golden Cassia and a package of Golden Cassia as a gift, their primary tea. It was so lovely and even a surprise to know the late Queen Elizabeth II had once visited here. We were given a very thorough tea lesson on the proper ways to brew and drink tea. Highly recommend if you’re a tea lover or one who is interested more in this unique experience.Visited October 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 9, 2024
- Weijie3 contributionsGood tea placeNice tea nice place! Highly recommended for people to come and have a chill time to talk and bond over tea. Tried the liu pao cha very nice, lighter than puer tea.Visited October 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 19, 2024
- Sunnytan30Singapore, Singapore403 contributionsTimeless place for tea and relaxationRevisit them again after close to ten years. Great atmosphere for one to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and having tea. Ordered the Tea Egg, Custard Lava Bun and Ice Cream Puff. Service level is lower probably due to in-between shift and the bell isn’t working well. Payment takes a long time as the whole place is serve by a single counter. Well, it’s a place where we can take things slower, not complaining on this but providing a reference for consideration. It’s a place for relaxation and take your time to be there.Visited October 2024Traveled with familyWritten October 20, 2024
- Keith NgSingapore, Singapore30 contributionsExcellent service recoveryTea was great. Tea came approximately 25 minutes late; staff gave tea egg, sugar peanuts and tea cookies as service recovery. Staff introduced the tea and its origin, why it's named like this, and how to appreciate the tea. We had a great time.Visited November 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten November 17, 2024

Limited food options but the dim sum and glutinous rice were delicious. Went well with the tea.Visited November 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten November 26, 2024

Superb experience! Everything about the Tea Appreciation Experience was wonderful. The teas are delicious and the host was knowledgable and engaging. You are given a short demonstration of the ceremony, and then left to savour your drink peacefully.
The whole environment is beautiful with low wooden tables and hanging scrolls, creating a calm and enjoyable space. Even the little touches are there - the WiFi is good and strong, there js a tasty little shortbread biscuit[UK]/cookie[US], and a digital menu of more food and drink choices to explore but no pressured up-selling.
I was really looking forward to this and it really delivered. Whether you’re quite interested in tea like I am, or a complete novice, I’d recommend coming and having the experience.

We came to Tea Chapter to look for Zisha teapots manufactured in Yixing, China. The shop has a nice range of Zisha and porcelain teapots to brew Chinese tea leaves. Some of the Zisha teapots have certificates of authenticity from the craftsmen while others do not. Prices vary, depending on the skills of the craftsmen.
The shop has a good variety of Chinese tea leaves. Small canisters provide customers with the smell of tea leaves. Staff Angie and May Eng explained the different tea leaves to my wife and me. They also helped us with the teapots. Both were patient with our enquiries.
Located along Neil Road, the Peranakan styled shophouse is well designed in complementary traditional decor that suits the old-world charm of Chinese tea trading business. Tea leaves and tea ware are neatly displayed for browsing and purchase.

Visited with the intent to relax in a nice environment after sightseeing. Felt really refreshed after resting and drinking tea in a semi private booth. Tea experience and explanation by the knowledgeable staff after we ordered the tea was insightful and interesting. The tea jellies were cool and refreshing. The only drawback was the total price was a bit pricey as you have to pay for the nice booth and the tea was quite pricey. But we still really enjoyed resting here.

Indoor Diners are required to be vaccinated. Government issued tracetogether tokens to all residents of Singapore who require them. I am one who responded to Government's call to vaccinate and carries my tracetogether token wherever I go. I went to tea chapter and produced my token for them to check my vaccination status. One of the bosses(according to a staff who served us)who is an elderly lady, told me they cannot check and tell me to download the tracetogether app so as I can proved my vaccination status. I told her that with the token, every eatery I went to can verify my vaccination status. She refused to check my vaccination status with my tracetogether token and refused me entry and said "too bad" if I cannot proved to them my vaccination status. I feel as a place who charge at least $20++ for a cup of lousy chinese tea (of course the better tea cost more)she should at least have the courtesy to be a little bit more polite. I don't encourage people to patronise such establishment when the bosses have such bad attitude. Maybe they feel they have alot of customer who are willing to pay and drink tea that they don't have to be service friendly. I definitely will not be going back there and will let my friends know of such bad service. There are other nicer tea house in Singapore with better tea and charge less.

A great experience! I recommend coming again next time. The tea culture experience is very unique, with China's exclusive golden osmanthus. I will come again next time. I hope more people will come to experience the culture

We were lucky to be able to sit at the table that the late Queen Elizabeth sat at when she visited.
The experience started with a demo from the staff on how to brew the tea and taste the tea.
Ordered Imperial Golden Cassia tea (which was the tea that was served to the late Queen according to the staff) and the Ba Nuo Pu'er tea. Highly reccomend to try the Imperial Golden Cassia tea, the tea has a strong creamy floral aroma.
As for food, we ordered the vegetarian long jing mee sua, cookies, tea eggs and dragon mochi. I'm not one to appreciate vegetarian food but boy was I blown away by the mee sua. The soup had a very clean, light yet sweet vegetable taste. Tea eggs were unexpectedly perfectly cooked. The yolk wasn't dry and the whites were not rubbery! Be sure to try the mochi warm as it was soft and pillowly and not sweet. Cookies were interesting if you enjoy tea as it was all a different experience.
Overall, really glad I've came!

Fantastic experience. Was great to relax and escape from my hectic lifestyle for an hour. Was taught the basics by the tea master on how to properly brew tea. She also gave a thorough explanation for the tea selection they had. Little expensive to come here solo, would be great for couples or 3-4 people. Will be back for sure!

This tea tasting was an interesting and exquisite experience that my family will remember. This was a informative and detailed session, on how to make and enjoy the tea. Even as a 12 year old tween I love this event. I have learnt the way of making good tea. I would definitely recommend this to anyone even if you dislike tea because it will change your mind. 🍵👍🏻✌️

We sampled 7g of the Imperial Golden Cassia, which comes about to 5 steeps. The staff member at Tea Chapter carefully explained all the tools and walked us through how to appreciate the fragrance of the tea and how to hold the teacup. There are several tea room options, one with sunken seated area and a Japanese style one. Their menu also includes very cute food menu options.

A nice lovely experience here at tea chapter. It is my 3rd or 4th time here in tea chapter. It is 1st visit for my 2 family members. We enjoyed our time chit chatting in this place, very soothing background music and environment. Also they will do demo on tea appreciation. Do check out their food items too. Their tea leaves egg and Siew mai are pretty good too!

Has anyone gone just for tea and snacks or does everyone do the appreciation course. It’s too expensive for us but I still enjoy tea and would like to soak up the vibes
