Calling all cat and tea lovers – Singapore’s first ever cat teahouse, CATEA, has recently opened just a short walk from Upper Thompson MRT station.
Home to a total of seven ragdoll cats, entry to the cat teahouse is free, with a minimum order of one tea per person.
Based on menu photos from Google reviews, snacks and pastries start from S$5 per plate to S$32 per pax for Kung Fu tea, which comes with a teapot, tea cups, tea tray, fair mug, tea towel, thermos, snacks and pastries.

There are even tea sets for 2 to 4 pax, which come with stove iced tea, as well as snacks and pastries like nuts and dried fruits.
One of the most popular teas at CATEA is their Yashi Duckshit DanCong, and no, you didn’t see it wrongly – duckshit really is part of the tea’s name.
The Yashi Duckshit DanCong tea comes in an oriental, cat-themed teapot and cup which is both traditional and cute, if that’s even possible.
As an oolong tea, the Yashi Duckshit DanCong is part of the Fenghuang Dancong tea family, produced in Chaozhou, Guangdong.
Its name is related to the soil where it grows, locally known as “duck shit soil”.
According to CATEA, tea farmers intentionally gave it the name “Duck Shit Fragrance” to keep it a secret and prevent others from stealing.
So now you know.
Apart from fluffy cats and premium Chinese teas, there’s also a section in the teahouse selling adorable cat-themed merchandise and trinkets.

Do note that dining time at CATEA is limited to 1 to 2 hours and only children 7 and above are allowed entry into the teahouse.
Children under the age of 14 will also need to be accompanied by an adult.
Walk-ins are allowed but the cafe highly recommends making a prior reservation as the teahouse capacity is limited and there may be long waiting times.
Reservations can be made by PM-ing CATEA on Instagram with your preferred time, pax and phone number.

Weekend reservations should also be made at least 2 to 3 days beforehand.
