A gourmet tea company founded in July 2015 by Yong Pei Wen, Pin Tea draws inspiration for its assortment of teas from iconic Singaporean neighbourhoods. Free from chemicals and artificial flavourings, Pin Tea makes their teas with full leaves, real herbs, and real flowers.
Each tin of tea from Pin Tea comes packed in vibrant colours, with a description of the neighbourhood that inspired the tea flavour. Creating their range of tea flavours involved the Pin Tea team observing and recording the daily on-goings in each Singapore neighbourhood, then curating the ingredients for the tea blend alongside their tea master.
The Pin Tea range of teas are slightly more expensive than elsewhere, but you get top-notch quality. Packed in convenient silken, pyramid tea bags for the modern everyday tea drinker, Pin Tea delights with its unique Singaporean take on tea.
