At CHAGEE, we are driven by our vision to connect people and cultures across the world through a great cup of tea. That we did, as we travelled islandwide these few weeks to deliver our signature Jasmine Green Milk Tea to the fellow tea lovers from Lazada, Klook, GRAB, Shopback, GirlStyle and many more! It served as a good midday boost for them.
Here are some photos of the milk tea drops at their offices!
Come August, we will be opening 3 locations, orchardgateway, Plaza Singapura and Raffles City. Do drop by to check us out and enjoy our freshly brewed teas using only fresh dairy and real tea leaves for that authentic tea taste!

☕ The Rich Tapestry of Singaporean Coffee Culture: A Journey from Kopitiams to Specialty Cafes ☕
As we sip on our morning brew, it's fascinating to reflect on how coffee culture in Singapore has evolved, transforming from the traditional kopitiams to the sophisticated specialty coffee shops that now dot our landscape.
🌟 From Humble Beginnings
The story of Singaporean coffee culture begins in the heart of our kopitiams, where the rich aroma of traditional kopi blends with the sweetness of kaya toast. These bustling morning hubs served not just as places to enjoy a hearty breakfast but as essential social gathering spots, weaving the fabric of our community life.
🔍 A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Over the years, Singapore has seen a remarkable shift. The introduction of specialty coffee shops and local roasters brought with it a new appreciation for the art of coffee making. Today, these establishments offer a plethora of choices, from single-origin brews to innovative blends, catering to a growing palette of coffee connoisseurs.
🌱 Sustainability and Craftsmanship
This evolution also reflects a deeper understanding and appreciation for sustainability and craftsmanship in coffee production. Many local roasters now emphasize direct trade and ethical sourcing, ensuring that our enjoyment of coffee contributes positively to communities around the globe.
🤝 A Community of Coffee Lovers
What remains unchanged, however, is the communal spirit that coffee ignites among Singaporeans. Whether it's discussing life over a cup of kopi in a traditional kopitiam or exploring the subtle notes of a meticulously brewed specialty coffee, the essence of Singapore's coffee culture lies in its ability to bring people together.
💡 Looking Forward
As we embrace this rich heritage and ongoing evolution, let's continue to support our local coffee scene. From the stalwarts of the kopitiam era to the innovators in specialty coffee, each has a role in shaping the unique tapestry of Singaporean coffee culture.
I'd love to hear your coffee stories! What's your favourite coffee spot in Singapore? Traditional kopi or specialty brew?

Feel sad to experience from Starbucks Coffee Malaysia, I went to Starbucks Reserve in Kuala Lumpur. Some negative observations:
1. Starbucks Reserve still using the Straw & old cup.
2. Extra RM1 been charge to asking for a cup of clean water! *Shocked me out*
Starbucks to use commit to Sustainability Living to charge Drink Water RM1 & Straw for RM0.20 without public announcement thru news & social media, we get informed from the staff inside the cafe.
As a loyalty customer, questions popping in my head. Starbuck had proud to launched the Strawless Cup years ago, why now turn back to old way and extra charges for the customers? Second, SST increased 2% but an Americo increased from RM6.90 to RM7.40 (+RM0.50), both decision made because "revenge" to Palestine Boycott from Malaysian?
What is the community sensitivity from the Starbucks Mar'24 Campaign - wear "green Cap" to get RM10 handcraft? Do Starbucks know what is the meaning to wear "Green Cap/帶綠帽" from the Chinese term?
Sorry to said, I drop my loyalty to Starbucks shift to local growing brands like Zus, Gigi Coffee, Bask Bear Coffee, San Francisco Coffee & Nesken Coffee They offer affordable price with good grade coffee even better than Starbucks now.

Indulging in Local Delicacies: The Balancing Act of Enjoyment and Economic Impact
Malaysia is renowned for its rich variety of foods and delicacies, often celebrated as a food haven.
The sheer diversity of menus across the nation—from Perlis to Sabah—means you could easily spend an entire year exploring the culinary delights of different states and districts.
Whether you’re savoring street food or dining at upscale restaurants, the choices are endless.
Remember TV3's popular show "Jalan Jalan Cari Makan" (JJCM), originally hosted by Maria Tunku Sabri and later by Naz Rahman? It highlighted the nation's passion for food and the excitement of discovering new "makan" spots.
Our craving intensifies when we see viral posts of mouth-watering dishes from beloved eateries.
While indulging in these culinary adventures is a treat for our taste buds, it's also a boon for the economy, particularly for small and medium business owners.
Food outlet generates jobs, stimulates local businesses, and boosts the economy by keeping money circulating within the community.
However, as tempting as it is to frequently dine out with family and friends, it's wise to be mindful of your spending.
Overindulgence can be hard on both your stomach and your wallet 😆
Enjoy the delicious journey, but balance it with financial prudence to savor the best of both worlds.
