In a world where everything moves at lightning speed, the gentle ritual of brewing tea is a rare invitation to pause. Pétale Tea, Singapore’s first and only blooming tea specialist, is redefining how we experience tea with the launch of its latest collection—“Storytelling Tins.”
Pétale Tea was founded in 2015 by Rosemary Kwa, a tea curator with more than 20 years of experience in the F&B and retail industries. After over a decade managing a prestigious tearoom, she combined her deep knowledge of hospitality with a passion for mindful living to create a brand that champions purpose, connection, and self-care.
The “Storytelling Tins” are inspired by ten core values—Celebration, Dreams, Elegance, Empowerment, Gratitude, Growth, Love, Passion, Resilience, and Wish. Each value is represented by a thoughtfully crafted blend, with every ingredient and bloom selected to match the emotional note it represents. More than a simple beverage, each tin is a beautifully curated sensory experience designed to slow us down, inspire reflection, and deepen connections. Whether you’re seeking comfort, inspiration, or a meaningful gift for someone special, there’s a tea in this collection to suit your intention.
For instance, Celebration is a cheerful tropical blend that mingles bright citrus and creamy coconut, reminiscent of the crispness of morning dew. It’s perfect for those spontaneous moments when you want to honour small wins, whether it’s a job promotion, birthday, or simply surviving a long week.
Dreams evokes possibility with its refined twist on the classic earl grey, enhanced by cocoa nibs and rosemary. This blend is for the visionaries, those plotting their next adventure or creative project.
Meanwhile, Elegance brings warmth and grace to your teacup. With earthy ginger and golden osmanthus, it embodies the quiet strength found in everyday rituals and the simple luxury of a peaceful moment.
Empowerment stands out with its vibrant medley of rooibos, sweet figs, pomegranate, and cinnamon—a bold and confident infusion that reminds us to take care of ourselves as we navigate life’s demands.
Those seeking a flavour that captures cultural familiarity might gravitate towards Gratitude, which channels the playful sweetness of ondeh-ondeh with pandan, mint, and coconut. It’s a charming nod to heritage and the joy of slowing down to appreciate life’s small pleasures.
Growth, on the other hand, is a fragrant, gentle blend that carries whispers of muscat grapes and floral notes. It reflects the slow but steady process of self-discovery and transformation.
Love is a sentimental choice, bringing together toasted rice pops and soothing lavender to create a comforting brew ideal for sharing—or simply sipping during a quiet night in.
Passion bursts with the lusciousness of lychee and rose, a fruity-floral expression of creative energy and joyful pursuit.
Then there’s Resilience, a visually stunning tea that brews a celestial blue, its milky sweetness inspired by the beloved bandung rose. It is both a tribute to nostalgia and a quiet reminder of the strength we carry within us.
Finally, Wish captures the essence of hope with golden marigold petals and warming vanilla, offering a tranquil, caffeine-free option perfect for winding down at the end of the day.
The collection is available in a range of formats, from Classic Storytelling Tins with eight blooming tea servings and 50 to 80 grams of loose leaf blends, to Petite Tins containing two servings. Gift bundles are also available, featuring stylish teaware and artisanal tea bars.
A Tea That Gives Back
With the launch of this new range, Pétale Tea is also beginning a heartfelt initiative: “Your Blooming Tea, Her Tomorrow”. For every tin sold, S$3 will go towards supporting non-profit organisation Daughters of Tomorrow, helping women in Singapore gain financial independence and dignity through work opportunities and personal development.
This initiative underscores Pétale Tea’s ongoing commitment to conscious living. It’s not just about sipping beautiful tea—it’s about making your moment of indulgence meaningful for someone else too.
For online shoppers, Pétale Tea’s website offers the same range and promotions, with the collection soon available at The Green Collective (Funan Mall) and Love In A Bottle (Marina Square) from mid-July.
Prices start from S$12 for the Petite Tins and S$35 for a single Tea Bar. Classic Storytelling Tins are available at a launch price of S$58 (usually S$63). Bundle deals include two tins with a complimentary infuser for S$116 (usual price S$148), while Tea Bars can be bought individually or in sets of two or three at discounted rates.
