Evocative of the sophisticated harmony of Singapore, the Singapore Breakfast Tea embodies the melting pot of this cosmopolitan city-state, with great diversity in the people, food and culture. Deeply-rooted in tea traditions, the island became a trading post for teas, spices and fine epicurean produce in the year 1837, with the establishment of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce. Heavily influenced by tea traditions from the Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian cultures, tea was a staple and can be referenced in the cha, teh and teh tarik, which were traditionally prepared using a 100% cotton tea filter. This lends a deep and robust flavour to the cup of tea and is still used to prepare tea to this day, even at TWG Tea.
Boasting a natural blend of black tea, green tea, rich vanilla and rare spices, this noble TWG Tea blend yields a complex flavour with a sweet and lingering aftertaste. A breakfast classic, this tea pairs perfectly with the home-grown breakfast staple of sweet kaya toast and savoury soft-cooked eggs. The intensity of the tea exudes a sweet and lingering aftertaste with a hint of spice, and is one to truly savour.
This August, let us raise a toast to 58 years of the Lion City – from a small fishing village to an opulent, first-world nation gleaming with hopes and dreams.
