Order an artisanal tea from 1872 Clipper Tea’s tea bar and have it on the go; just like the way you would order your favourite Starbucks beverage and take a mouthful to fortify you for life’s next obstacle or melt the worries of the day. This unique tea bar, perhaps among the first of its kind in Singapore, comes as part of the 1872 Clipper Tea’s 743 square feet flagship store that is newly launched and can be found over at ION Orchard. Highlights on the takeaway menu are a variety of hot tea blends made unconventionally using the impressive Alpha Dominche Steampunk machine along with special blends of cold brews available via beer taps such as the Lemongrass-Ginger and Apple Pie as well as the iced tea mocktails such as the Singapore Sling, Sagaria and Blissful Berry crafted specially for the 1872 Clipper Tea label.
If it’s more than just a drink that comes to mind, the tea bar also offers a selection of pastries from Dulcet & Studio, including a Chai éclair concocted and available only at 1872 Clipper Tea. After the thirst and hunger aspect is fulfilled, it’s time to turn the spotlight over to the brand’s teas that are available to be purchased for brewing in the comfort of the home!
Aside from the current range of Essentials, Herbal & Blossoms, Tropics, Travel and Heritage, 1872 Clipper Tea has also launched ‘Signature Destinations’, a new line of teas that promises to feature the most luxurious selection from 10 key destinations around the world. Notable selections among which are the Yunnan Silver Tips, Milk Oolong, Gyokuro and Nurwara Eliya. 1872 Clipper Tea pays homage to the historic Clipper ships that carry teas to all corners of the world and this artisanal tea label hopes to bring the best tea leaves of the beautiful gardens to tea lovers while transporting them upon the imaginary voyage.
1872 Clipper Tea also has retail counters at Raffles City, Tangs Orchard, Robinsons The Heeren, Gardens By The Bay Gift Shops, Singapore Botanic Gardens Gift Shops and Night Safari Gift Shops and is available online at
