Singapore’s tea scene is evolving, with plenty of local brands and homegrown tea vendors popping up and making a name for themselves with their unique infusions and impressive blends. Now just a couple of weeks away, the Singapore Tea Festival 2017 aims to take things up a notch and deliver a grand showcase of all things tea in Singapore. Presented by local heritage tea retailer The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. in conjunction with Singapore Food Festival 2017, this event will take place on 22 and 23 July and will no doubt attract scores of tea lovers across the island, as well as stoke the fire of the ever-growing tea culture in Singapore.

The event will see four themed elements take the stage at ION Orchard over the 2-day event: a Tea Market to showcase a slew of local tea vendors, a tea-themed pop-up cafe cheekily named Teapitiam (a play on our local kopitiams), a Tea Room to host fun and educational workshops, and a Tea Museum.

Admission to the festival is free to the public, so if you find yourself in the area, definitely check it out! Head up to the gallery to find out more about the highlights at the Singapore Tea Festival 2017.
