Tea culture in Singapore

In the eyes of the world, Singapore is more than just a tourist city. Its food culture, especially tea drinking culture, has its own unique side. Singapore's unique "tea" has become a national performing art that tourists appreciate very much.

The so-called "long tea" means adding milk to the brewed black tea, and then the tea maker pours the milk tea into the jar. The tea maker holds a jar full of milk tea in one hand and an empty cup in the other. The distance between his hands was about one meter, and he began to pour tea. It takes seven times to go back and forth like this In the process of pouring tea back and forth, milk tea is not allowed to overflow. Because the cup of "Chang Cha" is quite big, it is quite enjoyable to drink. People who drink tea will feel relaxed while enjoying the wonderful tea pouring.

Drinking tea in Singapore is different from drinking tea in England. In Britain, tea is mainly accompanied by some biscuits and small sandwiches. In Singapore, afternoon tea is mainly eaten, and the quality of tea is not very important. Afternoon tea provided by many tourist hotels is mainly buffet snacks, ranging from Indian egg rolls to domestic Cantonese snacks. Even if you drink tea in a five-star hotel, you often entertain guests with a big pot of tea in a tea bag.

China tea has also stood out in Singapore in recent years. Some "tea villages" and "teahouses" specializing in China tea are often crowded with customers. The "tea drinkers" in Singapore are not only old people with gray hair, but also young people. They often fight in groups of three or five or in groups of two, talk about business and have tea to relax themselves. Because there are more Japanese and Korean tourists visiting Singapore, the teahouse where you can do business also provides some tea that Japanese and Korean guests like. Every evening, the streets and tea rooms in Singapore will gradually become lively and become a street scene.
