6. TWG
Most high tea places around the city serve a selection of TWG tea. So why not drink at the source instead? You can expect comfortable chairs and opulent decor when you visit their many tea salons.

Before you mark your calendars, note that not all TWG outlets serve high tea. The locations that do are TWG Tea at Swissotel The Stamford, Takashimaya D.S. and ION Orchard, as well as TWG Tea on the Bay at Marina Bay Sands and TWG Tea Garden at Marina Bay Sands.
