Bai Cao Wei at Takashimaya Shopping Centre offers traditional Chinese healing teas in a modern retail format. Located at #B2-7-6-2, this halal-certified establishment has been serving nourishing herbal teas since 2002, making traditional Chinese wellness beverages accessible to Orchard Road shoppers and office workers seeking healthy beverage alternatives.
The menu features an extensive range of "healing teas" targeting various wellness needs. American Ginseng Chrysanthemum provides cooling properties ideal for Singapore's humid climate, while Luo Han Guo offers natural sweetness with throat-soothing benefits. The herbal tea combinations draw from Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, using ingredients like goji berries, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, and various herbal blends designed to address specific concerns from digestion to immunity.
What makes Bai Cao Wei particularly relevant is its response to growing health consciousness among Singapore consumers. Rather than sugary bubble teas or caffeine-heavy coffee drinks, Bai Cao Wei offers beverages that nourish rather than deplete. The takeaway format fits busy Orchard Road lifestyles—customers can grab a healing tea during shopping breaks or before heading back to offices, making traditional wellness practices convenient for modern schedules.
The halal certification ensures accessibility across Singapore's multicultural population, while the basement location near other food options creates natural foot traffic from hungry or thirsty shoppers. For tourists interested in experiencing Traditional Chinese Medicine through food and drink, Bai Cao Wei provides an approachable entry point—familiar beverage formats (iced teas, warm infusions) containing ingredients that have been used in Chinese wellness for centuries.

Terrible service from the old lady. Pls don’t work here if you do not want to serve. Asked for sweet herbal tea then explained unnecessary info to confuse me, and didn’t point out I got the one that’s not sweet. I walked off unhappy, still yelled at me why I look grumpy. Go somewhere else if you want better herbal tea, we don’t deserve this after paying for premium.

Really inconsistent. We usually buy 4-5 bottles of barley each time, and one bottle would taste perfectly fresh and sweet while the other two would taste sour and spoilt. This has happened on a few occasions and my family members have gotten stomach issues after drinking the barley.

Bought drink from Bao Cao Wei on 28 Oct 1.30pm for my toddler son. Son drank few sips and didnt want to drink. Curious, I took one sip and found out drink was sour coupled with carbonated taste. Immediately i know drink was spolit. After inspecting the bottle, i noticed bottle is without any expiry date. Went back to the stall which was mended by 2 female and 1 male staff. Informed the female chinese staff and she replaced it with new bottle and took back contaminated drink and threw it into dustbin. When i questioned staff why no expiry date and who will be responsible if my son got sick, none of staff responded. When i told staff to return back the contaminated drink from rubbish bin, chinese female staff refused and poured away content into sink. This act is suspicious and I hope SFA will take action on this stall.
