Tea shops · Singapore, Singapore
A Singapore tea house founded in 2008, with tea salons at ION Orchard, Marina Bay Sands, Takashimaya and Swissôtel, and boutiques at Changi Airport.
The house
TWG Tea was founded in Singapore in 2008 as a subsidiary of V3 Gourmet; the initials stand for The Wellbeing Group. The 1837 printed on the tins is not the company's birthday — by its own account it marks the year the island became a trading post for teas, spices and fine epicurean goods. The first Tea Salon & Boutique opened at Republic Plaza in August 2008; the island salon behind a curved glass wall that most people picture arrived at ION Orchard in September 2009.
The list divides cleanly by format and by price. At the bottom, loose tea by the 50 g at S$ 10: Cederberg rooibos and Gunpowder Supreme. Just above them sit the house's own blends — 1837 Black, French Earl Grey and Silver Moon — with Emperor Pu-Erh and Uva Highlands. In the middle, boxes of fifteen cotton teabags at S$ 30 — Milk Oolong, Genmaicha, Chamomile, Black Chai. At the top, a 110 g Haute Couture tin of English Breakfast at S$ 48 and a vintage Pu-Erh 2000 at S$ 54 for 50 g.
The counters are not only shops. At ION Orchard, at both Marina Bay Sands addresses, at Takashimaya and at Swissôtel The Stamford the boutique sits beside a tea salon; the first address, at Republic Plaza, is now a boutique with weekday hours only. The airport branches are inside the Changi transit zones, in all four terminals. The company says its catalogue runs past a thousand single-estate teas and blends, so the fourteen items on this page are only the part that faces the street. Buying loose by the 50 g is the least expensive way in.

The FindMeTea edit
01 · Green tea
The only rolled green on this counter: grey-green leaves grown near the Huangshan mountains, wound into tight pellets that open up in the pot. Sold loose by the 50 g rather than in a tin, so it is an easy first purchase from a house that mostly sells tins.
from S$ 10· 50 g
Explore this tea →02 · Black tea
A broken-leaf Ceylon from the Uva highlands: one of the few teas here sold under a growing region rather than a house blend name, and loose rather than boxed.
from S$ 15.25· 50 g
Explore this tea →03 · Oolong tea
The hand-finished cotton teabag the house is known for, fifteen to a box with 2.5 g of whole leaf in each, and an oolong rather than the usual breakfast blend — the salon experience without a scale at home.
S$ 30· 15 teabags
Explore this tea →The one worth the trip
A vintage pu'er dated 2000, sold loose by the 50 g and the only tea on this counter sold by year. It sits at the very top of the price list, far above the house's other pu'er, the Emperor, sold in exactly the same weight — the clearest way to see what the date on the label is being charged for. If you are going to ION Orchard for one tea, ask for this one.
