It's a nice place to chill over Chinese tea. I highly recommend the workshop that I attended. For someone unfamiliar... with Chinese tea, I learnt a lot bout the history, the types, their manufacturing processes and also some basic brewing skills. It's comforting to enjoy the tea along with some pastries and tea eggs. The tea eggs were flavorful, unlike typical ones sold elsewhere.The environment was cozy. The food items look affordable. I can't say much bout the tea prices as I'm not a connoisseur.I would definitely want to visit this place again.read more

I recently visited Tea Chapter for tea time and was impressed with the ambiance of the place. There was an extra charge... for access to the Korean and Chinese rooms, but I opted to stay in the Japanese area.I had a nice strong flavored Oolong tea. The tea egg was average, but the dim sum and noodles were delicious.The prices were a bit more expensive, but the portion size was bigger, allowing for two separate brewing sessions of 5 brews each.The staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall, a good tea experience at Tea Chapter.read more

Interesting place to sample various Chinese tea. They have many different variants of chinese tea leaves for you to... indulge in the art of chinese tea drinking. Also do try their snacks and food, especially the herbal tea eggs. Love their interior decor as well, reminiscent of a traditional tea house. Good place for gathering and chit chatting with friends.read more

Truly mediocre service. Inconsistent waiting times (told us we would wait 20 minutes, after 20 minutes told us another... 15, finally spontaneously gave us a seat upstairs), kitchen FORGOT our longevity bun order, and we had to chase it down as we were almost done with our tea. They waived the charge ($5) for the buns but seeing as they kept us waiting for 1 hour for the buns, was $5 really worth it?!Must add that the teenage girl who first greeted me gave me a very rude once over and was not at all helpful. Please hire more actual service staff.read more

Nice place to just chill and have some tea.Staff are friendly and demonstrated the steps and also some pointers.We... had 2 kind of tea (Puer and Oolong) one is $28 and $35 which comes in 2 portion each and each portion can make 5 pot of tea.We also had some dim sum which are nice but nothing fantastic which I think is understandable since they are not a dim sum place.Tea wise can’t really comment as I am not well versed enough to judge but overall a nice experience and worth to visit againread more

Signed up for a 2-hour tea appreciation workshop at Tea Chapter recently, and had Mr Fund Lee as our instructor for the... session. Fund is the second generation owner of the establishment, and was very knowledgeable in sharing with us the Chinese history of tea, the various techniques in preparing this beverage, as well as explaining the benefits and peculiarities of each kind of tea used during the workshop.Was surprised to see the place so fully patronized even during a mid-week afternoon; at the same time happy to see so many people in Singapore interested in an art form surrounding this wonderful drink. Definitely worth the afternoon, and will be back again!read more

Definitely a place I’ll be returning to!read more

Snacks that came with the package are yummy too.read more

Was surprised by the amount of cultured human beings on earth when i reach here. The short 7 minutes introduction was... very educational, sufficient to make me a cultured singaporean.

Nice and quiet tea house. Plenty of Chinese tea to choose from. Bear in mind the $9/pax min spending and 2hr time... limitation. $5 additional for Korean and oriental styled tea room, $10 additional for the bigger room. Japanese style area is not chargeable since it has no partition and no curtain. First timer can request for demo.read more

Such a well hidden gem! From the moment you stepped in, puts u in a zen mood. Shoes are kept away in their shoe racks.... Staff is accommodating and friendly. Unique experience for me, cause its my first Tea House. Very clean and neat. Good selection of teas and snacks. They allow you to have a slot for 2 hours. Definitely coming back here!Latest update: Hospitality is still great! If you're not sure what you're doing, or how the process of making your tea.. the staff is here to help n guide u through! Makes u appreciate your tea little more. 😉read more

My friend suggested this place to catch up since we like to drink tea. We had to choose 2 types of tea to start. We had... a lighter tea and a stronger one. The food menu is small consisting of tim sum and tea leaves eggs. The eggs are cooked to perfection, so flavourful and tasty. Tim sum is not bad too. If u have not experienced the art of tea ceremony, you can come here to try. But there's a time limit of 2 hrs each slot.read more

A good place to catch up with friends and family in a lazy afternoon over cups of tea. However, the staircase may not... be friendly for elderly. The waitress who served us is not so friendly when my friend wanted to reconfirm the duration, tea type etc. with her.. And she told us not to leave our used tissue on the table for them to clear when she saw we are sanitizing our hands with wet wipes. When asked where is the dustbin, she immediately tell us they don't have any in house and we can throw them outside when we leave the place later. At first, I thought it is hygiene issues and they do not provide any tissues but later, they served us with wet wipes n napkin to use as well. Overall, the tea we selected and the snack is fine. Minus 1 star for not so good service.read more

This experiential tea house is truly a hidden gem! They’ve been around since time immemorial; i remember coming here to... learn about tea when I was a kid…It was almost a full house when we went but thankfully they offered us this um special table that queen Elizabeth II once occupied (for a cover charge of $10). We got ourselves the white peony tea. My favourite part was when the lovely waitstaff taught and demonstrated to us how to enjoy the tea before leaving us to our own devices for the rest of the afternoon.For the uninitiated: each teapot holds ~ 1 spoonful of tea leaves which can give 5 infusions. Pour the hot water into the teapot for 20 seconds (add 5 seconds for each subsequent infusion) then out into the dispensing cup. Make sure u only hold the teapot and secure the lid with one hand like the Chinese ancients!! Then dispense the tea and enjoy.Jelly platter (comprising herbal jelly, lychee jelly and osmanthus jelly) paired well with the tea.Sugar peanuts were nice to munch on whilst chit chatting.The dim sum is supposedly not made in house but we were satisfied with the chicken lotus rice.read more

First visit there to get tea as gift. 🎁 Stepped in to the tea house with a pleasant vibe. The uncle recommended their... signature house tea which is the Imperial Golden Cassia at $35 for 50g. According to the uncle, the signature tea was served to the Queen Elizabeth II 女皇when she was in Singapore. Although I haven’t tried the tea but the good service there is definitely worth another visit.read more

Tea Chapter is a nice place for having afternoon tea that is near to Chinatown and Tanjong Pagar. You can also buy... different teas and accessories. It has a small but interesting history too, where they keep a tea set in a corner of the shop that was used by Queen Elizabeth. The weekends are quite crowded and they do not take reservations.If you are new to tea, you can ask the staff to introduce how to appreciate tea.read more

Been to this place a couple of times and it's always been a fantastic experience. Most of all, we always come here for... the much coveted booth seats, which are cozy, intimate and give you a lot of privacy. They're hard-to-get though, so you may only stand a chance on a weekday. Tea is great and I particularly like the aged pu-erh.read more

I absolutely love this place! Came with another friend and we opted for a place at the highest level whereby you can... sit on the floor. A very nice tea set is then served, and you can experience brewing your own tea here. Ordered the herbal eggs as sides to the tea, and it was delicious too!Update: I came here multiple times and the experience is always great! The temperature here can get quite cold, so do bring a sweater or wear warmer clothing if you're susceptible to such a condition. Ladies- Wear pants too, in case only floor seats are left!read more

Great place for an introduction to the art of preparing and drinking Chinese tea. Was told that when Queen Elizabeth... visited Singapore, she dropped by Tea Chapter. Tea Chapter concocted a tea in her honor and named it Golden Cassia. I had Golden Cassia accompanied by Tea Chapter's tea eggs. Their tea eggs were the best that I have ever eaten. They were even better than the tea eggs that I have had in Taiwan and China.read more
