Herbal Tea Eggs are one of those food that we don’t really crave for, but the moment we walk past a shop that sells them, the aroma of herbal tea eggs never fail to make our mouths water. They are essentially a hard boiled egg infused in black tea leaves, as well as Chinese herbs and spices.

Psst. Herbal Tea Eggs are actually healthier than fried and scrambles eggs, so the next time you’re craving for some omelettes, try getting one of these eggs instead!

Tea Chapter
First established in 1989, Tea Chapter is the largest teahouse in Singapore. It has housed our former President, S.R. Nathan and current President Dr. Tony Tan. While you can attend workshops to learn about different pairings of teas, you can also indulge in their signature food, one of them being the Tea Leaf Egg. Though they lack the herbal ingredients, these eggs are just as tasty as any other herbal tea eggs in the market.
