Within the historic Dutch Hospital precinct, lies this swanky tea club. Heladiv is yet another major exporter of tea, and it is at their flagship store that you can taste a variety of home-grown teas from their very own estates. And tea is served up every which way—hot, cold, infused with herbs, as part of sodas, unexpected blends such as strawberry and green tea, etc.
In addition to the array of teas, there's also coffee, cacao, juices, mojitos etc. Sip on a beverage, while you down delicious desserts, waffles, a sumptuous breakfast spread, sandwiches, burgers, wraps and more.

At the Heladiv Tea Club, it is not just about the tea; it is about the experience of sipping on chai, within a setting that takes you back in time to the colonial era. This is exactly what tea-time is all about—tranquility, being stress-free, and a break that takes you far away from your daily chores.
