Gryphon Tea Company

Gryphon Tea's founder, Lim Tian Wei, founded the brand in 2006, but his roots can be traced back to a local, family-owned tea importer that began its business a hundred years ago. The brand's products are wide-ranging, from herbal and fruit tisanes to tea lattes and coconut jams. In 2017, it created a range of sparkling teas that quickly became one of its best-selling products. The sparkling teas are cold brewed for 12 hours, sweetened with fruit juices, then carbonated and stored in glass bottles. Three flavours are available: Osmanthus sencha with passionfruit, Earl Grey lavender with strawberry, and Pearl of the Orient with lychee ($55.20 for 12 bottles). The sparkling teas are also retailed in individual bottles at select supermarkets around the island.
