TEA FAQ

Where are your teas blended?

All our blends are hand-crafted in small batches in Singapore.

Can I re-steep my tea?

Re-steeping is suitable for many teas, though flavour profiles may differ with each infusion. Tisanes are not recommended for re-steeping.

Why do your teas contain flavourings?

We use only natural flavourings to enhance the unique character of our blends. A wide range of unflavoured teas is also available.

How long will my tea stay fresh?

For the best flavour, we recommend consuming our teas within 2 years of purchase or before the date indicated.

How should I store loose tea?

Store your teas in an airtight container, away from light, moisture, and heat.

What teas can I drink before bed?

We recommend caffeine-free blends such as Aromatherapy in a Cup, Calming Spirit and other herbal selections.

What is the best tea for stress relief?

For a calming evening ritual, start with floral and herbal blends such as Chamomile Dream, Flower Dance and Calming Spirit. These teas are designed for relaxation no matter the time of the day.

What teas help to boost energy?

Teas containing caffeine, particularly black tea, green tea and matcha, can help support alertness and provide a natural energy lift. At Gryphon, we recommend Bullseye for mornings, long workdays, studying and moments when you need to stay focused.

How should I brew Gryphon's tea for the best flavor?

Optimal brewing depends on the tea category:

  • Black & Herbal Teas: Steep in boiling water (100°C / 212°F) for 3–5 minutes.
  • Green & Oolong Teas: Steep in warm water (80°C–85°C / 175°F–185°F) for 2–3 minutes to preserve delicate antioxidants and prevent bitterness.
  • Cold Brews: Submerge 1 sachet in 250ml of cold water and refrigerate for 6–8 hours.

What material are Gryphon sachets made from?

Our silken tea sachets are made from PLA (polylactic acid), a plant-based biopolymer derived from renewable resources such as corn starch. Unlike conventional nylon or PET tea bags, PLA is produced from renewable plant sources and is specifically designed for food-contact applications.

Do your teas contain sugar or calories?

How much caffeine do your teas contain?

Our teas are labelled with a general guide:
