TWG Tea at ION Orchard is a tea shop at ION Orchard, in Orchard, Singapore. It holds a Google rating of 4.3 from 1,583 reviews.
A good tea shop is judged on the quality of its leaves and on how well the staff can explain the difference between teas from one region to another. Loose-leaf tea should smell fresh and fragrant when the tin is opened, so it helps to ask to smell a sample first. Brewing guidance on the packet, such as water temperature and steeping time, makes a large difference to the cup. Regulars often choose a favourite blend and buy a small tin to try a new one, and they ask how long the leaves keep once opened.
ION Orchard is a large shopping centre on Orchard Road, which makes this tea shop an easy stop during a day of shopping or a break from the crowds.
