Hello, Singapore: Malaysian bubble tea chain Tealive lands at Changi Airport, first outlet in the country

AD

Tealive has long been a familiar pit-stop for locals making a bubble tea run across the Causeway.

But now, bubble tea lovers in Singapore need not bring their passport to get a fix of Tealive's drinks.

The popular chain from Malaysia has opened its first Singapore outlet at Changi Airport Terminal 3's Arrival Hall.

In the lead-up to its grand opening weekend, from June 13 to 15, Tealive teased its fans with numerous social media posts.

"Come be among the first to sip on your favourite iconic Tealive flavours, now even closer to you. It's a date. See you there!" one of the posts' caption read.

Tealive will be celebrating its opening weekend with a promotion — it'll be giving away 100 free cups of its Signature Bang Bang Bubble Tea each day.

Head over to the outlet with a "purple item" and this sweet beverage is all yours.

Be fast though as all 100 cups were fully redeemed by the afternoon earlier today.

Known for its tea and coffee brews, Tealive's top favourites include the Nishio Fine Matcha Latte, Hazelnut Latte and Roasted Milk Tea with Grass Jelly.

Founded in 2017, the brand now has more than 1,000 outlets across three continents, with branches in Canada, Mauritius and Vietnam among others.
