We started Te_SG (Pronounced as tea/teh) in July 2020 with the objective of finding quality Chinese tea. Over the past year, we have slowly expanded our collection and network to feature a variety of different teas, such as Oolongs, Red Teas, and Pu-erhs.
However, our story goes back a little further. In the earlier years, we travelled around the US and Canada finding different types of flavoured teas, enjoying flavours such as Mint Tea, Earl Grey sencha and Apple-pie Rooibos.

In 2014, one of our friends introduced us to a quality Puerh in the comfort of his home. We were struck by the simplicity and flavour of the Puerh, and our interest grew from there. In the following years, we have made trips to Taiwan and China, sourcing for teas from different suppliers. Some of the fruits of our labour are now placed on our Facebook Store and website.
Sourcing for tea, 2019
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it harder for us to travel abroad to source for teas. However, this will not stop us from sourcing with our partners for quality and affordable teas. As we continue to grow our collection, we hope that you will continue to check our offerings from time to time.
