I am the type of person who goes for coffee every single time I am at a cafe. But sometimes, too much caffeine can make me jittery, and a cuppa tea just seems like the more adult choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always seem to have trouble finding a ready list of cafes that have good tea options (apart from tea houses), so I’m here to spill the tea on 5 cafes in Singapore that offer tea by the pot<\/strong> which are<\/strong> perfect<\/strong> for unwinding from work<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Five Oars Coffee Roasters<\/a> (Tanjong Pagar)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who walks past Five Oars Coffee Roasters<\/strong> at Tanjong Pagar<\/strong> will definitely stop to admire the cafe’s unique industrial and minimalist appearance. Opened back in 2018, it is a popular spot to chill at, especially during peak periods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their tea is supplied from 1872 Clipper Co., so you can be sure you’re getting some quali-tea<\/em> brews. A pot is priced at S$6.50<\/strong>, and comes with seemingly unlimited refills of hot water (yay!). If you’re feeling like you could use some relaxing, perhaps try their Anti-Stress (Green Tea Chamomile)<\/strong>. You can also opt for the classic flavours like English Breakfast<\/strong>, Timeless Earl Grey<\/strong>, Peppermint<\/strong> or switch it up with their Lychee Fiesta<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
