4 Reasons to Drop by Coffee, Tea, and All That Jazz at the Shang

Nowadays, coffee and tea aren’t just there to quench our thirst. They perk us up in the middle of a rough workday and soothe our mind before bedtime. They provide the centerpiece for experiences, whether enjoyed alone at a sidewalk cafe or in the company of friends and family. And let’s not forget how that perfect cuppa can make us smile no matter our mood.

Whether you take your pick-me-ups black, white, flavored, over ice, or blended, there’s no doubt that coffee and tea are two of life’s delicious pleasures. Shangri-La Plaza is celebrating these beloved beverages by bringing some of the best-known coffee and tea brands together in the East Atrium of their swanky East Wing. And because the right ambience enhances our enjoyment of these drinks, they’ve transformed this central area into a lovely al-fresco-style café and completed the mood with smooth jazz tunes. After all, what better way to spend the last weekend of March than by indulging in your favorite drinks in a Parisian-inspired atmosphere?

Here are four things you’ll enjoy at the Coffee, Tea, and All That Jazz at the Shang, but head on over this weekend, as the event runs only until March 29:
