In Tea Room Singapore, light gathers quietly beneath the rim of a Jingdezhen porcelain teacup. This is more than teaware. It is a vessel where breath and history collect. Touching the thin, luminous wall of a gaiwan, you connect not only with your own tea drinking, but with centuries of Chinese tea culture. These handcrafted Jingdezhen porcelain teaware pieces, chosen by our tea master, ground each session in silent reverence, inviting you to immerse yourself fully in the ritual.
Located in the heart of the city, our private teahouse offers a serene escape where every detail is designed to complement the experience of traditional Chinese tea. Jingdezhen, a city shaped by the flow of kilns and river stones, has refined the art of porcelain teapots and cups since the Tang dynasty. Here, techniques passed down from Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty find new meaning. When you hold a cup at our table, you hold porcelain that could only have originated from this tradition—thin as paper, white as breath, humble yet exquisite.Jingdezhen: The Heart of Chinese Tea Culture
Chinese tea is not just a drink. It is a gesture, a way to pay tribute to patience, earth, and artisanship. At Tea Room Singapore, surrounded by wooden tables and stillness, each serving of oolong tea or pu’er is poured in a Jingdezhen cup—inviting you to embrace a quiet exchange between China and Singapore, past and present.
We serve premium teas, from aged pu’er to the floral hush of white tea. Each is paired with a vessel chosen for harmony—gaiwan, cup, or traditional teapot—allowing the tea leaves, the warmth, the art of brewing, and the clarity of brewed tea to speak in unison. There is nothing decorative for its own sake. Use becomes beauty. The story is in the pour.The Essence of Jingdezhen Porcelain Teaware
Porcelain begins with earth—kaolin clay, petuntse stone—gathered and refined until only the finest particles remain. Fired at high heat, shaped by attentive hands, the result is a teaware that is light, strong, and cool to the touch. When oolong leaves unfurl in a Jingdezhen teapot, or when green tea greets porcelain sides, neutrality is preserved. Nothing is lost, and the tea’s own nature emerges.
Within each piece, centuries linger. The clarity of porcelain, its luminous colour, allows tea appreciation to be both a tasting and a seeing. Paired with traditional Chinese tea snacks—dim sum, desserts from Emerald Hill, or a single preserved plum—the vessel and its contents create an understated tribute to Chinese culture.Brewing with Reverence: Ceremony in Every Pour
Respect for craft is central at Tea Room Singapore. Brewing tea—whether oolong, white, black, or pu’er—becomes a shared ceremony. Our tea master favour a Jingdezhen gaiwan for its neutrality; the cup reveals every brewed note, from the roasted depth of Da Hong Pao to the delicate green of bi luo chun.
We often introduce guests to the beauty of our tea pots and tea wares, their clay perfect for certain teas. Yet for floral, bright, or freshly picked leaves, it is porcelain that offers a glimpse of the tea’s full expression—unclouded, precise, and absolutely worth experiencing.
Atmosphere and Gathering: From Family Table to Sanctuary
A table set with Jingdezhen teacups is not complete without company—friends, family or new guests discovering this atmospheric space. The touch of porcelain is suitable for quiet conversation or reflective pause. Whether poured for a single person or shared among many, each cup is a reminder: this meal, this sip, this story, is connected to something vast.
It is not unusual for a guest to remark on the balanced weight of a teacup or the simplicity of its rim. This is the sign of authentic makers—work signed with a discreet brush mark beneath, passed from hand to hand, inviting anyone to sample a lineage.Jingdezhen and Beyond: A Living Gift of Tea Appreciation
