Gryphon Tea Company celebrates the beauty of White Tea with the Monde Selection Award

July 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Singapore - Gryphon Tea Company has another reason to rejoice after winning the Monde Selection Silver Quality Award from the prestigious Monde Selection International Institute for Quality Selections 2010. “I always like to experiment with new ingredients that are familiar to Asians. Using Asian ingredients right at your garden gives a sense of familiarity. The Artisan Selection Nymph of the Nile and White Gingerlily gives a fresh introduction to the world of tea through the use of indigenous herbs and flowers commonly found and used in the kitchen of South East Asia. We are pleased that our latest creations inspired by the cultural influence of East and West have proven to be a testament of exceptional quality and great taste.” said Mr. Lim Tian Wee, the founder of Gryphon Tea Company.

The White Gingerlily, an organic White Peony Tea with Thai galangal and lemongrass evokes a ‘spa-like’ feeling that relaxes the senses and brings one to a state of bliss. On the other hand, the Nymph of the Nile entices with a floral bouquet and sweet aroma of exotic ingredients like Persian Rose and Egyptian Basil.

Adds master tea blender Mr. Lim, “As consumers are increasingly exposed to different cultures and taste experiences, Gryphon Tea aspires to take gourmet tea beyond a beverage by being a part of our lifestyle.”
