Unwind at Royal Eternity Teahouse [Sponsored Post]

It's been a little more than a year since we were stuck with COVD-19, and with all the restrictions in place in a tiny island country like Singapore, it's common for many to feel trapped and stressed. I had the pleasure recently to step into a realm of peace and tranquility while enjoying the brew of black tea (hong cha) at Royal Eternity Teahouse.

It's no secret that tea offers numerous benefits. It refreshes the mind, clears heat within the human body, helps with weight loss, and are full of antioxidants... but what about teahouses?

Aside from the rooms, they also do sell the teas that they offer to guest:

Old packaging

• Green tea: made from the new shoots of the tea plant, and are dried and processed by either water removing, rolling, and drying. Traditional green tea has a pale color and a sharp, astringent flavor.

• Yellow tea: produced by allowing damp tea leaves to dry naturally.

It has a distinctive aroma, similar to red tea, but its flavor is closer to green and white teas.

• White tea: unfermented, uncured green tea that has been quickly dried. It is lighter in color than other types of tea with a subtle, delicate flavor.

New packaging

• Oolong tea: unfermented tea made from a blend of green and red teas.It boasts the best flavors and aromatic qualities of both, and claims to aid in fat decomposition and know to be a weight loss aid and a beauty enhancer.

• Black tea: made from the new shoots of tea leaves, which are wilted, rolled, fermented, and dried. The resulting infusion yields a lovely red color and a subtle aromatic fragrance.

• Dark tea: is a kind of post-fermented tea, which undergoes an actual fermentation process aided by bacteria. The whole process comprises six steps: water removing, first-time rolling, heaping, second rolling, baking, and drying.

• Pu'er tea (actually a dark tea): made from a large-leaf variety of a plant growing in a defined area, which is then processed into compressed tea or brick tea with a specified technology.

Price: $168 for a box 12 tins of tea leaves (same type), $58 for a tin of tea leaves

Tea Drinking Tips

1. Tea oxidizes after brewing, diminishing the nutrients overtime. So it is best to drink tea hot to get the best out of it.

2. Drink tea in moderation. It is possible to upset your stomach and have insomnia if you make the tea too strong. Usually you can mix 4 grams of tea leaves with 250 milliliters to make a cup of tea. An overall amount of 12 - 15 grams of tea leaves is suitable for daily consumption.

3. Do not drink tea soon after or before meals. Otherwise it may quench appetite when your stomach is empty, or cause indigestion when your stomach is full.

4. Do not drink with medication. Tea contains large amount of Tannin, which will react with certain elements in the medicine, thus reduce medical effects. You can drink tea a couple of hours after you take medicine.

5. Green tea is the best option for office workers. Green tea contains catechins that help prevent computer radiation and supplement moisture content of the human body.
