Gryphon Tea Company

What's in the box: A typical order is a curated assortment of individually wrapped biodegradable tea sachets spanning herbal, green, black or oolong blends.

Gryphon Tea Company is a Singapore tea house known for carefully composed blends and polished packaging. The shop focuses on named blends and curated assortments rather than a monthly box. The site does not clearly say whether it offers a recurring subscription, so check before you expect automatic deliveries. The teas on offer look appealing. Pearl of the Orient combines jasmine pearl green tea from Fujian with pink rose petals. Chamomile Dream mixes chamomile, lemon verbena, Provencal lavender and marigold. Both have a 2-star Great Taste Award from the Guild of Fine Food. Single blends such as Chamomile Dream come in 10 sachet packs at $11.84 SGD. The Botany Self-Care Assortment bundles four herbal and green tea blends into 16 sachets for $23.06 SGD, and it clearly labels which blends contain caffeine. For a wider tasting, the Monogram Tea Tasting Assortment offers 48 sachets across black, green, oolong and herbal teas for $65.00 SGD. The sachets are described as biodegradable silken bags. Local orders over SGD$60 ship free, and international shipping is free on orders over SGD$130. The product descriptions use a lot of flowery language and give little brewing guidance, but the awards and caffeine labels are useful. It suits someone who wants a gift-ready tea selection more than a hands-off subscription.
