It is not your typical Chinese Tea shop with a dated Chinese decor with dragon/phoenix motifs and ink paintings.
Situated right above a korean restaurant, on the second storey of a pre-war shophouse, the decor is modern, very much like the living rooms you see in Wallpaper Magazine, with fresh blooms in handmade vases on every table.
They serve a selected range of fine teas, from Single Estate Darjeelings teas to high-end Chinese Teas. They made alot of effort in presenting the tea for you, as the pictures below attest. Effort was made to match the color of the tea with the serving vessel.
When you are in this place, you feel very at ease, a perfect place to have a nice chat with a friend, or just have a nice cup of pu'er alone.
The service is impeccable, and unobtrusive.
They serve you and leave you alone to enjoy your tea, not like generic places like Starbucks, where rubbish jazz is used as a sorry excuse for background noise, where teenage busboys howl out orders at the top of their voice, and where you always feel hurried to drink up and vacate your seat, and leave.
No. I don't work for Tea Bone Zen Mind, and I really recommend this place just to get away from the mad hustle bustle of the city.

Great Ambience! Noted down in my to visit list.
Indeed this is quite a good place to relax and have tea. And one of the best egg i ever had.
Tea Bone Zen Mind little shop specializes in specially selected teas and tea wares sourced from Taiwan, Japan and China. A small shop specializing in custom Chinese teapots, cups, and accessories. Will design to suit.

Tea Bone Zen Mind - a new tea-house in town. Modern, out of the magazine decor with french music piping softly in the background. A very nice place to chill with your friends, or even impress your business partners. Wonderful selection of various types of teas plus self concocted spice teas, fruit and floral teas.

The place reminded me of this cafe in Beijing called Mooi which I loved as well. That cafe has a greek setting and very serene setting and not to mention it is situated in the Art District, 798 and not to mention the most yummilicuous apple pie I tried there. Tea Bone Zen Mind has a different setting and is unique in its ways and you have to see it for yourself. I will definitely go there again, so ladies, beware, I will suggest Tea Bone Zen Mind for our next catching up session. You will love it.
