- For a palate-coating tinge sweetness, get the most subtle flavour on the menu – Nuwara. Inspired by the hill city of Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya, Nuwara is light in colour and delicate in taste, naturally sweet with a pleasant mellow floral note.
Refine Your Tea Palette with The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.
From a strong vertically integrated supply chain to innovative brewing techniques, The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. is constantly on a global quest to master the artistry behind the perfect cup of tea. The first of its kind in Singapore, the homegrown brand introduces the slow drip technique with the Marco SP9 – Automated Pour-Over Coffee Brewed, typically used for coffee, to extract the best flavours from the unique tea blends.
Made to brew custom blends one at a time for each customer, the slow drip technique seeks to unlock the distinct flavour profiles of the tea through a measured nine-part extraction process, allowing each tea leaves’ robust fragrance to be extracted in full glory. Be introduced to a world of tea simply brewed to perfection!
By maintaining a constant temperature and dispensing the exact amount of water throughout the multi-step brewing process, the SP9 serves up a cup of quality 1872 Clipper tea, brew after brew, bringing out the deep aromatic flavours of the tea leaves. The SP9 pulses water nine times, incorporating pre-infusion and pulse brewing to prevent the water from losing temperature. The final product is then drizzled on a precisely measured volume of ice cubes for that perfect cuppa iced tea, ensuring that the familiar taste of your favourite blends remain the same each time you come back for more.
