TWG Tea Opens Changi Terminal 3 Flagship With Free Tea Museum

TWG Tea has opened its largest store anywhere, the TWG Tea Gallery, inside the departure and transit area of Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal 3. The 2,700 square foot shop opened on Thursday, October 1, 2026, according to Changi Airport, and includes the brand’s first tea museum, a tea infused ice cream counter and a wall of more than 1,200 tea tins. It is open 24 hours a day.

If you are flying out of Terminal 3 or connecting through Changi, you can visit after immigration or during a layover, but not from the public arrivals or check in areas. The store is at unit #02-58B in the Departure and Transit Lounge North, according to Time Out Singapore, which said the museum can be visited free with a store visit.

What Is Inside the TWG Tea Gallery

The Moodie Davitt Report said the TWG Tea Museum displays more than 170 antique tea wares and over 50 Russian samovars dating from the 17th to the 20th centuries. The shop sells more than 1,000 single estate harvests and exclusive blends, along with tea accessories, tea infused macarons and chocolate bonbons, and has a takeaway tea counter.

A new tea infused ice cream and sorbet concept is also on site, with flavors such as pandan gula melaka and coconut, Time Out Singapore reported. The space sits beneath a 23 foot high ceiling. Taha Bouqdib, president and chief executive of V3 Gourmet, said the flagship brings the past, present and future of tea into one immersive experience.

Prices to Expect at the Changi Store

Time Out Singapore listed the store’s exclusive Grand Voyage Tea at S$45.87 packaged or S$8.50 as a takeaway drink, ice cream and sorbet at S$6.50 for one scoop or S$10 for two, and a Changi tote bundle at S$98. Prices are in Singapore dollars. Guided tours with TWG tea trainers are available, the publication said.

Changi Airport Group managing director Hung Jean told the Moodie Davitt Report that the flagship turns a retail visit into an immersive journey through the heritage and culture of tea. For travelers, it adds another free attraction to a terminal already known for its gardens and play areas. Because it never closes, it also gives passengers on late night and early morning departures a place to browse and pick up a takeaway tea when many other shops are shut.

Planning a Visit on a Layover

Because the store is in the transit area, travelers connecting through Changi can usually reach it without passing immigration, even if their flights use Terminal 1 or 2, since those terminals are linked to Terminal 3 airside by the Skytrain. Allow enough time to get back to your gate, as Changi carries out security screening at the gate itself, and check your connection time before you settle in for a tea tasting.

If you are departing from Terminal 1, 2 or 4, check whether you can reach Terminal 3 airside before your flight, and leave a buffer for the return trip. Departing passengers should keep receipts handy, since tourists may be eligible to claim back Singapore’s goods and services tax on larger purchases through the airport’s tourist refund scheme.

Loose tea and packaged tins can go in carry on bags, but a brewed takeaway drink counts as a liquid at gate screening, so finish it before you reach the gate. If you are flying on to a country with strict agricultural rules, such as Australia or New Zealand, check whether you need to declare tea and food items on arrival.
