There’s something incredibly comforting about sipping a drink that not only quenches your thirst but also lifts your mood on a sweltering day. Singapore’s heat and humidity are no joke — and those who live here know that finding something truly refreshing makes all the difference. That’s why tea lovers and bubble tea fans alike will be thrilled to hear that PlayMade’s much-loved Gardenia Tea has made its return.
From 19 June 2025 onwards, Gardenia Tea is officially back on the PlayMade menu. For those who are familiar with it, the name alone might spark delight. For others who have yet to try this floral masterpiece, now’s the time to experience what the fuss is about.
Let’s dive deeper into what makes this return special and why this could be the perfect go-to drink for the season.
A Light and Uplifting Brew for Everyday Refreshment
In a landscape filled with rich, heavy milk teas and sugary fruit concoctions, the Gardenia Tea stands apart. It’s delicately brewed, smooth, and incredibly light on the palate. Gardenia isn’t just a name thrown in for branding. This brew captures the authentic floral notes of gardenia blossoms — known for their calming and revitalising properties.
This isn’t your usual sugary fix. It’s a soothing experience in a cup. Each sip is fragrant yet never overwhelming, lightly sweetened to let the natural taste of the gardenia come through. The result? A drink that feels almost like a tea ceremony condensed into a moment of quiet joy — whether enjoyed on a lunch break, between errands, or as an end-of-day treat.
In a market flooded with overly intense flavours, Gardenia Tea feels like a breath of fresh air. It doesn’t try too hard, but it wins you over nonetheless.
Why This Tea Deserves a Spot in Your Daily Routine
There’s a reason the Gardenia Tea was previously awarded by the International Taste & Quality Institute (ITQI) — an endorsement that speaks volumes about its craftsmanship. The team behind PlayMade has gone to great lengths to preserve the authenticity of this tea, both in terms of its natural flavour and its preparation method.
In a time when drinks are often engineered for visual appeal or novelty alone, Gardenia Tea remains rooted in traditional sensibilities. It’s thoughtful. It’s elegant. And best of all — it’s incredibly easy to enjoy.
If your daily lifestyle includes being out and about in the city heat, or if you simply enjoy a drink that soothes rather than overwhelms, this tea could become your favourite companion. Whether you’re navigating MRT crowds, working from a co-working space, or grabbing something quick before heading to a fitness class, Gardenia Tea offers an ideal pause from the buzz.
Perfect for Tea Enthusiasts and Casual Drinkers Alike
Whether someone’s a devoted tea connoisseur or someone who just enjoys a casual sip of bubble tea once in a while, the Gardenia Tea fits both profiles.
It offers a different kind of satisfaction compared to bubble teas loaded with toppings. While you can still choose to customise it with your favourite add-ons — think pearls, jelly, or aloe vera — it’s perfectly fine just on its own.
That’s the mark of a well-balanced tea: it doesn’t need gimmicks to shine.
Why Now Is the Best Time to Try It
The return of Gardenia Tea couldn’t come at a better time. As the mid-year temperatures continue to rise, the need for a soothing, cooling beverage becomes all the more relevant.
PlayMade is bringing it back for good reason — and it’s likely this floral favourite is here to stay for a while. But as those who frequent PlayMade outlets know, popular drinks often see changes in availability. So, there’s every reason to give it a try soon rather than wait.
And for those who enjoy introducing new drinks to their circle of friends or family, this is one you’d want to recommend. The tea’s profile is gentle enough to appeal to a wide range of palates — even those who aren’t usually into floral flavours.
A Quality Experience Without Breaking the Bank
What’s also worth noting is that the Gardenia Tea, despite its premium feel, remains affordably priced. At PlayMade, pricing has always struck a good balance between quality and value. This tea, like many of their seasonal favourites, offers a luxurious experience without the high price tag.
In a city where indulgences can often come at a hefty cost, it’s refreshing (in more ways than one) to find a drink that feels special without feeling extravagant.
Where to Get It
PlayMade outlets are spread conveniently across Singapore — from shopping malls to neighbourhood town centres. This makes grabbing a cup of Gardenia Tea highly accessible. Whether someone’s in the East, North, or Central Singapore, there’s likely a PlayMade outlet nearby.
For those who haven’t yet visited PlayMade, the brand prides itself on its handcrafted drinks made with carefully sourced ingredients. Unlike some chains that depend heavily on pre-mixed bases, PlayMade’s strength lies in its dedication to fresh brewing and thoughtful combinations.
The return of Gardenia Tea is simply another example of their commitment to quality and creativity.
A Final Thought
In the end, a great drink isn’t just about taste — it’s about the feeling it leaves behind. The return of PlayMade’s Gardenia Tea offers more than a refreshment; it offers a moment to slow down, to enjoy a bit of floral serenity amid a fast-paced day.
So whether one is already a fan or a curious first-timer, this is a great opportunity to discover (or rediscover) a tea that balances simplicity with refinement.
The next time you’re feeling the heat, think less about reaching for the usual and more about treating yourself to a drink that feels as good as it tastes. Head over to your nearest PlayMade and let Gardenia Tea show you what refreshment truly means.
