Tokyo-based tea specialist Lupicia's first standalone store at Southeast Asia will be open for business starting June 21 at Great World City.

As with all of the brand's stores worldwide, the dainty Singapore outlet lets you open tea tins, smell and taste its wide range of more than 100 flavours. 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 available for purchase. Prices start from $8 to $20 for a bag of 50g loose leaf tea or a packet of 10 teabags.
