Hot and humid weather always calls for a refreshing drink or two, don’t you think?
If you’re out and about in town, orchardgateaway is one of the best places to beat the heat. After all, it is home to some of China’s most popular drink and dessert concepts, such as There Was No Coffee, Yang Xiao Xian, and now, LEMOONTEA.
The futuristic-looking lemon tea joint is located right next to one of the exits coming down from Somerset MRT; you definitely won’t miss its vivid green and white interior.
As the name suggests, it specialises in “hand-whipped lemon tea”, which refers to a process that involves lemons and limes being “punched” and “beaten” together with “crunchy ice cubes”. Punched lemon tea, however, is not new to Singapore — you’ve probably seen it being sold at certain Food Republic food courts.
As someone who tends to gravitate towards citrus-based iced teas instead of the usual bubble tea whenever I’m feeling super thirsty, LEMOONTEA’s menu sounds really enticing.
Most drinks start with a simple base of lemon tea, and are then spruced up with seasonal fruits and herbs like Glutinous Rice Leaf (S$5.80), Coconut (S$6.50) and Mango (S$7.20). There is even a funky Durian Lemon Tea (S$7.90) — I’m not sure how I feel about it.
That aside, you can also find speciality drinks like Watermelon Mint Coconut (S$6.50) and an intriguing yet incredibly affordable Perfume Lemonade (S$1.60).
Otherwise, signatures like the Signature Lemon Green Tea (S$4.90), Strong Black Lemon Tea (S$4.90), and Guangdong Oolong Lemon Tea (S$5.80) will be your best bet.
Not only are you able to pick your preferred sugar level, but you’ll even get to choose whether you prefer regular or crushed ice!
So, why not cool down with a sour and refreshing cup of iced tea that also happens to be very IG-worthy? Maybe someone will even be brave enough to give the durian lemon tea a go.
