[Product Review] Gryphon Tea Co.’s Botanically Cold Brewed Sparkling Teas

Gryphon Tea Co.’s new tea series - Botanically Cold Brewed Sparkling Teas not only provides a "younger and sexier" look and feel, but it is also a lightly sweetened sparkling tea series which sure to excite one's taste buds!

This new series made its first unofficial appearance at the Singapore Coffee Festival in August and had already won over coffee lovers. At the festival, the tea company’s booth saw four days of long queues with at least 20 minutes waiting time. It eventually had two out of its three flavours sold out by the end of the run and had to be restocked to cater to the high demand.

These beautifully designed Instagram-worthy sparkling tea carries no artificial sweeteners, colourings and artificial flavourings, the cold brew is lightly sweetened with the addition of real fruit juices. Tea and non-tea drinkers alike can surely take delight in these teas. And as with all-natural teas, you’ll be happy to know that the sparkling tea boasts an array of health benefits. This invigorating tea helps to balance your body’s pH levels while hydrating and rebuilding your cells with powerful antioxidants.

Keeping the same goodness from its Artisan Selection parents so as to maintain its premium taste, these new series is "younger and sexier". Using Gryphon Tea’s award-winning teas, each artisanal batch is cold-brewed at 4°C for a total of 12 hours using a proprietary extraction method. It stays true to the philosophy of artisanal brewing, where careful control of the entire process is key to a quality product.
