5 Generations of tea people and over90 YEARS

OF EVOLUTION

More than 90 years ago, great-grandpa started peddling tea out of his tin trunk, on a trishaw, around Kuala Lumpur. Memories in black-and-white, of bullock carts and slicked back hair. In a town built on the backs of coolie labour, governed overtly by the British but ruled in the shadows by the secret societies. A time where social unruliness and chaos were part of everyday life.

BUT ONE THING REMAINS CONSTANT: TEA

Tea has been the ever-present centre stage in every generation of our family. All our lives, we have known and loved tea.

AN ACHE

IN THE HEART

Instant teas with artificial everything to mask the absence of tea.

Boba teas with more flavoured syrups and sugars than tea.

“Fruit teas” sold in every F&B joint out there that are heavily laced with fruit syrups.

How can an entire generation grow up thinking all that is tea?

Weary coffee addicts reeling from the jitters of a caffeine crash.

Boba aficionados who are actually craving that sugar high.

Quiet tea drinkers with nowhere to go.

Do these people know they have a way out?

OLD HANDS

YOUNG HEARTS

How did we assuage those pangs of pain?

With one hand firmly gripping our heritage, and the other grasping the future: we exist to produce the perfect cup of tea. We distil botanicals where needed. We incorporate local flavours in new, exciting, yet familiar ways through collaboration with renowned mixologists.

We also possess the latest in beverage technology, to ensure consistently high standards in our drinks.

No Nasties, quickly simply our drinks contain:

NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURED SYRUPS. NO ADDED SUGAR. NO ARTIFICIAL COLOURING. NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURED SYRUPS. NO ADDED SUGAR. NO ARTIFICIAL COLOURING.

MASTERY FROM SOURCE TO SIP

Why does our tea taste so good?

Well, you did not get it out of an instant packet.

Long before our glass of tea is placed in your hands, generations of our family have fussed over every step of the process to make the perfect brew. We’re so consumed because we know that if any part of the process is not done well, perfection for that one glass of tea is breached.

1. SOURCING

GLOBAL QUEST FOR A PERFECT BREW

tea botanicals growing our own

We choose our tea and find the right balance are adjusted to get the desired flavour and aroma. We carefully dry the tea leaves to eliminate their moisture content by drying in various levels of hot temperature. Then we remove the leaves from the heat and allow them to cool thoroughly, preserving their captivating flavor and aroma.

Much like our tea, we source straight from the farms as much as possible. This means going on trips to locate suppliers in the mountains and making sure they have the same vision in producing the best possible ingredients.

When we grow our own herbs, it means that we have carefully selected certain cultivars to ensure the best flavours are put in our drinks. This way, we also reduce our carbon footprint. 2-in-1!

2. BLENDING + FIRING

PASSION IGNITED

3. DISTILLING BOTANICALS

GOODNESS DISTILLED

We extract essential oils and other aromatic compounds from plants for use in perfumes, flavourings, and other applications. The botanicals we want to distil are from flowers, leaves, roots or seeds that are fresh and high quality that will add into the tea leaves.

4. COLD-BREWING & TEA PAIRING

Cold-brewing

WE DON’T BLOW HOT AND COLD

Katy Perry said that

Yes, we love hot brews too; however, since we’re committed to bringing the best flavours to you, we use cold brewing to ensure that the volatile essential oils of tea remain in the liquid.

It also means the tea is less astringent and contains less caffeine. Which just simply means the best possible flavour experience in the cup for you.

Pairing with botanicals

THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE

Food and drink pairing. The phrase probably conjures images of starched white collars, expensive fine dining with multiple sets of gleaming cutlery or a mustachioed gentleman exclaiming “Jolly good show, old boy!”

At the core of it, what we are simply doing is to take flavours to experiment with and create combinations that intrigue your tastebuds. Painstaking but fun too.

5. COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY

SHAKING THINGS UP

Is it possible to shake up the industry of one of the world’s oldest drinks? We believe so.

That is why we’re making an effort to showcase this unique production method in our stores through Malaysia’s favourite tea drink, the ubiquitous teh tarik.

We have found that teh tarik, while being prevalent, suffers from unreliable quality across our land. Even after picking a ‘favourite spot’, one might find the quality to differ somewhat across different visits.

It is why we have put our heart and soul to finding a solution to this problem. Through our use of cutting-edge compression technology, the art of making tea is perfected through science. Now you can enjoy a consistently good teh tarik every time.
