Located next to the Chinatown Heritage Centre, heritage and innovation are fused in Amacha, hence its fitting location. Their logo is even a samsui woman, an iconic Chinatown symbol.

Amacha is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles. You can tell from how their teas are crafted with premium herbs and natural ingredients, but the recipes are adjusted to your modern tastebuds.

In addition, your sugar level can’t exceed 50%.

Simply put, it’s the same indulgence, but no guilt! Should Amacha hook you in with their brews, no one can nag you for your new milk tea addiction.

Of course, we have to start with the Herbal Milk Tea line. The recommended milk tea, Grandma’s Remedy (Medium -S$5.90, Large – S$6.90), is at the top of this list.

As a tribute to his grandmother, the founder aptly named the drink and the store itself after her. 

This signature drink blends chrysanthemum, bamboo leaf, dandelion, monk fruit, milk blend, and herbal jelly. 

If you aren’t familiar with herbal tea but are a milk tea fanatic, this can be your first foot in as it tastes the closest to your standard milk tea.

Another drink worth mentioning is Warm Embrace (Medium – S$7.90, Large – S$8.90). 

Ladies, this one’s for you as it’s specially crafted with women’s health in mind. The drink hugs you with its blend of safflower, dried longan, red dates, angelica root, black tea, milk blend, and osmanthus jelly.

Moving over to the Herbal Tea section, there are two recommended items — Rosy Radiance (Medium – S$6.90, Large – S$7.90) and Qi Booster (Medium – S$7.90, Large – S$8.90).

Self-care season is always the move, so get started on it with Rosy Radiance. It’s Amacha’s reminder to slow down and take care of yourself with its radiant blend of rose, goji berries, red dates, roselle, rose black tea, and peach gum jelly.

I opted for the 50% sugar level and surprisingly, I can proudly use the ultimate Asian compliment — it’s not too sweet. Refreshingly light, it’s perfect for Singapore’s hot weather.

As for the Qi Booster, it’s self-explanatory. Why boost your blood sugar when you can boost your qi instead? Recharge yourself with this mix of ginseng, astragalus, codonopsis, salt, jasmine green tea, and bird’s nest jelly.

Amacha also offers Herbal Hand-Punch Lemon Tea, a lineup of lemon teas with various flavours.

The recommended item is the Classic Lemon Tea (Medium – S$4.50, Large – S$5.50), consisting of lemon, lemongrass, and green tea.

Or switch things up with the Ginseng Lemon Tea (Medium – S$8.50, Large – S$9.50), which includes lemon, energy booster, oolong tea, and bird’s nest jelly.

There’s something to pair your drinks with too. Get yourself the in-house Traditional Kueh, which comes in Original (S$2.90) and Prune (S$3.30).
