Bubble tea lovers in Sengkang have a reason to explore something a little different at CHICHA San Chen at Compass One. Known for its Taiwanese tea heritage and freshly brewed drinks, the brand places tea quality at the centre of its menu. Instead of treating tea as just another ingredient in a sweet beverage, CHICHA San Chen focuses on the aroma, flavour and character of the tea leaves themselves.
Located at Basement 1 of Compass One, the outlet is a convenient stop for residents, commuters and shoppers looking for a refreshing drink. Whether you enjoy classic milk tea, fragrant oolong or fruit-infused tea, its menu offers several ways to discover Taiwanese tea culture in a modern takeaway format.
CHICHA San Chen: Taiwanese Tea Craftsmanship Since 1998
Originating from Taiwan, CHICHA San Chen was founded in 1998 with a mission to make high-quality freshly brewed tea accessible to tea drinkers. The brand draws on Taiwanese tea-making traditions and the experience of tea masters, tasters and roasters.
One of its distinguishing features is its patented Teapresso brewing technology. According to the brand, the system offers more than 1,000 custom settings and a three-stage temperature-control brewing technique. The aim is to extract the tea's aroma and flavour while maintaining consistency from one cup to another.
This focus on brewing is part of what separates CHICHA San Chen from a conventional bubble tea counter. The tea itself is treated as the main attraction, with milk, fruit, toppings and other ingredients used to complement its natural character.
Explore the Tea Menu and Signature Drinks
CHICHA San Chen offers several tea foundations, each with its own flavour profile. Its selection includes Green Tea, Osmanthus Oolong Tea, High Mountain Pouchong Tea, Black Tea, Dong Ding Oolong Tea and Cassia Black Tea.
For customers who enjoy a fragrant and floral cup, Osmanthus Oolong Tea is an appealing option. Those who prefer a fuller tea character may want to explore Dong Ding Oolong, while High Mountain Pouchong offers another distinctive Taiwanese tea profile.
The menu also allows customers to customise their drinks with different flavourings. Options listed on the Singapore website include honey, lemon juice, passion fruit, mango, cream, fresh milk, mousse and oat milk. This flexibility makes it possible to enjoy a tea in a lighter, fruitier style or as a richer milk-based drink.
Milk Tea, Fruit Tea and Toppings
If you enjoy a creamy drink, try exploring the milk and fresh-milk combinations. These pair the aroma of the tea with a smoother texture. Customers who prefer a more refreshing option can consider fruit-based combinations, including lemon and passion fruit flavours.
One highlighted drink on the official Singapore website is Sour Citrine Tea, made with High Mountain Pouchong Tea, lemon juice and Black Ruby Jewel. It combines the character of tea with citrus freshness and a distinctive topping.
For additional texture, the menu lists several topping choices, including King Bubble, grass jelly, coconut jelly, konjac jelly and Sakura konjac jelly. These allow customers to personalise their drinks according to their preferences.
Tea ordering tip: If you are trying CHICHA San Chen for the first time, start by choosing the tea base before deciding on milk, fruit flavouring or toppings. This helps you discover which tea aroma you enjoy most. You can also adjust the sugar and ice levels.
Customise Your Drink to Suit Your Taste
CHICHA San Chen gives customers the option to adjust sweetness and ice levels. Its Singapore website lists three sugar settings: Perfect at 100%, Light at 50% and No Sugar at 0%. Ice options include normal ice, less ice, no ice and hot.
This is useful if you prefer to taste the tea more clearly without too much sweetness. For a first visit, you might choose a lighter sugar level and adjust from there. If you are ordering a milk-based drink with toppings, consider how the sweetness of the other ingredients will affect the overall flavour.

The official Singapore website displays social media icons, but the individual account destinations could not be independently verified during research. I have therefore not inserted guessed Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or YouTube profile links.
