Singapore’s favorite tea chain has turned its latest seasonal sip into a full-blown culinary crawl. From May 1 to 22, Heytea is partnering with seven local brands—ranging from bakeries to beauty labels—to launch a collaborative tea-hopping event centered on its King Jasmine Guava series. The limited-run promotion invites customers to sample specialty desserts, pastries, and even a botanical hand cream, then collect stamps for a chance to snag a waxed canvas tote bag.
The Drink That Started It All
The star of the series is a creamy jasmine tea blended with pink guava juice and milk, finished with a smooth cream topping and a sprinkle of lime zest. Heytea’s floral-forward signature has inspired a wave of cross-brand creations, each riffing on the same aromatic notes.
A Floral-Fruitful Collaboration
Seven partners have rolled out exclusive menu items for the trail. Here’s a quick taste of what’s on offer:
- Dearborn (New Bahru): A King Jasmine Honey toast with whipped brie, featuring jasmine ice cream, warm espuma, guava granita, compressed pink guava, and oat shortbread.
- Tiong Bahru Bakery: A King Jasmine Guava tart pairing jasmine chantilly with a tangy guava confit.
- Messina: A new gelato flavor—King Jasmine Guava bloom—infused with jasmine tea, guava juice, and Messina cream.
- Tofu G: The Korean-style gelato chain incorporates the jasmine-guava blend into its signature tofu base.
- Ceres: A hidden spot known for its moon decor offers two items: a King Jasmine parfait with yogurt, poached pear, pink guava jam, tea jelly, and crumble; plus a savory toast with ham, jasmine butter, and pink guava jam.
- Nesuto: A layered entremet combining jasmine mousse, guava compote, and vanilla sponge on a brown sugar sablé base.
- Postcard: A beauty brand joins with a non-edible offering—a Guava Tea Garden hand cream.
How to Join the Fun
Participants can pick up a tea-hopping map set at any Heytea outlet or the collaborating stores. Only 5,000 sets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For every product purchased, visitors receive a stamp; collecting three stamps earns a waxed canvas tote bag redeemable at Heytea’s Orchard Central location from May 22 to 28. Redemption is limited to one bag per map set per person.
A Broader Impact
The collaboration underscores a growing trend in Singapore’s F&B scene: brands blending tea culture with跨界 partnerships to create immersive, limited-time experiences. For cafe hoppers, it’s a chance to explore new venues while enjoying a cohesive flavor profile. With May’s calendar already packed—including the opening of 15 new tenants at New Bahru and Gardens by the Bay’s latest global ranking—this tea trail offers a sweet, floral excuse to get out and explore.
