Been wanting to introduce this little Tea Cafe to my frens n readers. Get to know this place a years and a half ago when it just opened. Since then , it has become one of my favourite chill out place in the hustle bustle CBD area.'Tea bone Zen Mind' Teahouse is located just a stone throw away from Raffles Hotel. For those taking MRT, its about ten minutes walk from cityhall station. Wat makes this cafe stand out from the others? heee.. follow me... and u shall be convinced.
Situated on the second floor accessed via a discreetly signposted stairway, here we are at this little hideaway space. Cozily cloistered in a corner away from the hustle and bustle below, yet conveniently close by. Owner's Carrie has a fine and refine taste which makes her customer fall in love with this teahouse almost immediately. Stylish, unconventional and yet traditional, a place worth coo-ing all over. 
The whole concepts of the restaurant is so consistent that even the little details such as the W/C is taken care of. More than 50 types of tea available at your choice. Old-fashioned and properly made home brews like ginger tea, red date tea and their well-known Eight Tresures Tea aka Ba Bao Cha. Japanese style Green Tea and MoCha... U name it, they hv it. Let alone their unusual snacks like Taiwanese dried fish and wagashi.
Signature Tea: Ba Bao Cha, White Tea, and Mocha.
Signature Dish: Tea Wings ( Chicken Wings cooked in Tea - healthy and delicious, tanalising ur tastebuds in a unique and refreshing way), Tea Egg (Diff from normal tea egg, the tea fragrance penetrates into the half-cooked egg-yolk, qith the jelly-like egg white and the warm gooey egg yolk-heavenly done!), grilled cuttlefish (smell pungent but taste otherwise), green mango (my fav: sourly sweet snacks with low cal.) & etc.. too many to form a list here.
Price wise, its a tad up-market if u juz wanna pop in for a quick drink. However, its definitely worth the money if u intend to spend a long lazy noon sipping away the hot weather.. Tea is refillable and you can take ur own sweet time enjoy a quiet afternoon wif least interruption. Cant find a spot with enuff panache for a afternoon tea? Be it apreciating fine tea, chilling out with frens or recharge yourself, this is the place not to be missed.
Why i like this place? Beside its discreet location and its whimsical decoration, i have to salute to their impeccable yet unobtrusive service. One will first served a wet-towel just for freshening-up, follow by a small cup of warm water with lemon. This is extremely appreciated especially in a hot-humid afternoon. I also love the efforts they placed while preparing the tea. Each tea is served with matching serving vessels, pots and cups, matching delicate snacks are served in accordance to the tea, aiming to bring out the best taste for the tea-lovers. Only gripe: their operation hr which seems only cater for bum and tai-tai. ( from 11am to 7pm) I m glad I get a chance to pay it a visit b4 i leave for brazil tonite. I m soo gonna miss this place!Click here for more pix.Where is it?[Map]
