Ahh yes, high-tea. An indulgent meal consisting of champagne and fancy looking desserts served in elaborate three-tiered trays; high-teas are basically the queen of yum cha. Seriously, have you seen the tea set that comes in a jewellery drawer chest?

From sipping tea by the bay to enjoying tantalising cakes amidst the cityscape, high-tea dates can be just as romantic as an extravagant dinner date at half the price (guys, you’re welcome).

If you are looking to take café-hopping dates up a notch, or wish to experience the high society, here are six exquisite tea spots for a romantic day out!
