Had Fermented Rice Orchid , really like the rice
Wine aroma really savoury that you can finish in no time. Read that it has probiotics, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Will be seeking to try other flavours soon.

The Whales Tea – Takashimaya
The Whales Tea isn’t one of the big-name bubble tea chains in Singapore — they have only a few outlets, mostly in less convenient locations, with the Takashimaya basement store being a rare exception. That’s why I decided to give them a try instead of going for my usual Chi Cha San Chen, KOI, or LiHo.
We ordered two drinks: Osmanthus Fresh Lemon and Osmanthus Oolong Tea with jelly. I’m usually not a big fan of Oolong tea, but the Osmanthus added a pleasant, light floral aroma that balanced out the tea’s natural earthiness. The Oolong wasn’t overpowering, making it easy to enjoy.
It turned out to be a perfectly refreshing choice for a mid-afternoon break.

I recently visited the new outlet of The Whale Tea at Takashimaya, and it was a fantastic experience! The location is convenient, right by the fountain in the food hall, making it a perfect spot to relax.
To celebrate their grand opening, they had a buy 1 get 1 free drink promo, which was a delightful surprise! I tried their signature bubble tea, and it was delicious—rich in flavor and perfectly brewed. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better.
I can’t wait to go back and try more flavors. Highly recommend for any tea lover or foodie!

Chanced upon this place while walking around Taka. Interestingly they use teapresso method for their tea too so it was actually really quite fragrant. Tried their signature Pistachio drink which was good! Fragrant Jin guan yin milk tea with creamy pistachio paste! The pistachio paste was good, but wished there was more~

Returned to the the Orchid Biluochun latte. It was good! Very light floral scent, with fragrant milk tea. Comes with sweet fermented rice bits at the bottom, which gives the drink its sweetness (can’t customized sugar level). It’s a unique topping! Would recommend this to drink but it’s slightly expensive at $7.90!

Sip of heaven! The Fermented Rice Osmanthus Green Tea Latte & Fermented Rice Orchid BLC Latte from The Whale Tea are absolute game-changers! I loved the sweetness of the Osmanthus, which perfectly balanced the earthy notes of the fermented rice. The Orchid BLC Latte had a pleasant bitterness, but both drinks were unique and refreshing. The fermented rice added a lovely depth and complexity to each sip. Highly recommend trying both and experiencing the distinct flavours for yourself!
