Abt a week ago, on a lazy afternoon, a group of us went to this quaint little teahouse (called Tea Bone Zen Mind Cafe) along Seah Street. Located on the 2nd floor, with arty paintings tastefully adorning the wall, high airy ceilings, clean drop-down windows and soft velvety sofas lined with cushions, the whole place is a super cosy and quiet hideout that put all of us instantly at ease.
The range of teas (hot/cold versions both available for each flavour), although not mind-boggling, is enough. The quality and presentation are great. You get nice, thoughtful infusions such as lemongrass green tea, eight treasures tea, cinnamon red tea etc coming in pots simmering on their own 'heaters', with individual side snacks (e.g. pineapple tart, anchovies, cuttlefish strips, preserved persimmon), and the pots get refilled... all for $10-12. Don't bank on having mains there though, they serve only light munchies such as tea leaf egg. Nonetheless, there is this supposedly famous and yummy chicken rice stall just next to it, so you can always pop by for a leisurely tea session after lunch.
Just to note that they only open from 11am to 6pm. Enjoy. =)
