The 1872 Clipper Tea Co. (ION Orchard)

Had tried the previous release of flavours but this was one flavour that I probably hadn’t tried before — not sure if it’s actually a new item in their range of cream puffs.

Going past the crusty shell that was sufficiently moist yet crisp, the inside reveals a thick cream that carried light notes of peachiness whilst being complimented with the slight sweetness of passionfruit along with a tinge of aromatic tea flavours. Pretty decent overall.

Have always been dying to try their tea-infused cream puffs whenever I walk past their store displaying these colourful 'balls' on the shelves and I finally tried it today. Each puff is piped generously with silky smooth, tea-infused cream and topped with a sweet & crackly pastry that's colour-coded to the flavour.

I loved that the tea aroma in the cream is distinct yet not overpowering, but I was slightly disappointed with the crackly topping which wasn't crunchy. It would have been perfect if there was a significant textural contrast between the filling and the topping.

Bought these during the Singapore Tea Festival. $6 for a box of 2, compared to $3.20 each from their outlet. The downside? They were unwilling to mix and match the flavours. If you want to try 3 flavours, that would mean spending $6x3=$18.

The consistency for the matcha cream was a little hard and not creamy enough. The earl grey puff was just right. Both puff flavours were very strong. Would I have this again? Been there done that, so nope.

Bought 4 tea puff using the 1 for 1 burpple promo! The tea puff was really good with strong tea smell. Love the matcha n early grey lots!

Exploring this app proper for the first time and decided to make use of the 1 for 1 promo for these lovely tea puffs! They were smaller than the pictures make it out to be tho.. wouldn't have bought them at the full price ($3.20) :x From left to right: eternal rose, matcha, milk tea (it was underwhelming so I recommend skipping it) and earl grey. Enjoyed the hints of matcha and earl grey in the puffs in particular.

Decided to make use of Burpple’s 1-for-1 to try out Clipper Tea infused choux puff. Eternal Garden rose tea cream fillings are actually light and subtle while the Earl Grey is my favourite with a stronger hint of floral note but not too overwhelming 》U.P $3.20 Each

$3.20 each) with the #burpple app! These tea puffs were created in collaboration with @dulcetnstudio featuring flavours exclusive to @1872clippertea. It's hard to pick a favourite when they were all so yummy!
.
Floral lovers would gravitate straight towards the perfume-y Eternal Garden that had a delicious rose aroma.
.
For more robust tea flavours, I'd highly recommend the Milk Tea, or Matcha.
.
And for those who prefer something more subtle might go for the lighter Earl Grey.

Other than their cream puffs, the matcha roll was pretty good too tho I would have preferred a fluffier cake as this was a little on the denser side. The cream was such a lovely shade of green, not cloying and slightly bittersweet (I can do with more bitterness😛). Been dropping by a lot for their refreshing iced teas and lattes too!

Bursting at every bite with rich tea aromas infused beautifully into luscious smooth custard, 1872 Clipper Tea Co.'s tea puffs comes in 5 distinctive flavours- Milk Tea, Eternal Garden (Rose), Matcha, Earl Grey and Vanilla.

Having the set of 4 ($12), it was difficult to pick a favourite as each were nicely balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and tea flavour. Lightly chewy and airy, the Matcha and Rose layered pastry puffs were real delightful with strong nuances of tea and floral notes respectively; whereas I found the Earl Grey and Milk Tea to be more subtle in taste. The coloured choux shells also had a slight flaky crust which paired really well with the chilled fillings. Perfect for tea time and a tea-riffic choux puff fix. Oozesome!

Price: $3.20 each

Finally is Thursday! One more day to the weekends people! Meanwhile, let me enjoy my sweet treat to keep me sane till the weekends!

The selection offered was both overwhelming and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. The outer texture was crispy, as you suck your teeth into it, you would feel slightly chewy and fluffy. The best part comes, when you hit the core. The flavour was strong, but not overwhelming. If comparing between the 2 flavours, I would prefer the matcha as you could really taste the matcha flavour.
•
Overall, this could be my snack anytime of the day! Although it maybe a bit pricy, but it's really worth every single penny. Do note that only the ion outlet sells the tea puffs if you are looking for it!
