The Seattle-headquartered chain launched the Starbucks Reserve branding in 2011, gathering many elements seen in "third wave" coffee shops, such as beans from small roasters and hand brewing methods.

Hitting the rest of the market with tea

This outlet launches soon after Starbucks recently launched its premium Teavana tea line in Asia, in hopes of reaching the other half of the caffeinated market. Teavana was an upscale tea company that Starbucks acquired for $620 million in 2012.

But rather than compete with traditional Asian tea houses, Starbucks' Teavana line consists of mixed tea cocktails, which include more "bubble tea"-like concoctions such as shaken teas with pomegranate pearls that burst in the mouth.

Its offerings will also replace the older Tazo tea that Starbucks used to offer, and stores here are depleting their Tazo stock, a barista at the Marina Bay Sands told us.

Vera Wang, director, product line innovation, Starbucks China and Asia Pacific, told Mashable: "We recognise there is a $125 billion global category for tea as the second most consumed beverage in the world, second only to water. Nowhere is this opportunity more clear than in Asia."

While tea is often drunk plain without sugar or milk in the region, the Teavana creations are positioned as a "modern" offering, she added.
