Lupicia

The Tokyo-based tea specialist’s first standalone store at Southeast Asia is a dainty, white-washed space chockfull of beautifully-packaged products lining the shelves. Like its other outlets worldwide, you can open tea tins, smell and taste its wide range of more than 100 flavours before purchase. Look forward to seasonal offerings, single-estate Darjeelings (yes, like premium whiskeys) and a respectable collection of green teas.There are also tea accessories, tea wares and masala spices and tea-infused honey to be had. Prices are incredibly affordable, starting from $8 to $20 for a bag of 50g loose tea leaves or a packet of 10 teabags.
