The name “茶渊” came from the mission “茶学渊博，茶文化源远流长”, which translates to “being knowledgeable in Tea and promoting the culture of Tea Art”; while the English name “Tea Chapter” means opening new chapters to tea culture. In the effort to preserve culture and heritage, Tea Chapter decided to rent a shophouse at the Tanjong Pagar area which was a part of Singapore’s conservation project.
