Tea 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.

Revisit 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.

We 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.

Back after 20 years. Came with gf (now wifey) years ago and happy to see that it's not lost its charm. Limited food options but the dim sum and glutinous rice were delicious. Went well with the tea.

Tea 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.

The 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.

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.

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 enjoyed the educational experience in serving and tasting tea. Unfortunately, server wasn’t clear on costs associated with the tasting. She charged us $10 for the room. $9 each to taste and another $46 dollars to sample 2 toes of tea. Total amount for 4 people was $92. Not worth the cost!

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
