Our Story: From a Passion Project to a Way of Life

It began as a quiet dream — a lady’s love for tea, and her desire to make good, high-quality loose-leaf tea more accessible and convenient
through teabags.

She saw more than a drink in tea — she saw care, craft, and the silent story of the farmers who tend each leaf through the changing seasons. She stepped away from the conventional career path to pursue this brand from the heart.

But life shifted again — and she returned to full-time work. Just as the project was about to fade, a friend and his wife stepped in, believing this wasn’t just a brand — it was a story worth continuing.

What began as a personal brand project under Qing Tea Traditions has since found new life in 草木人, which now owns and continues the brand.

The Qing Tea Traditions label is now part of the larger 草木人 story — not as just a business, but a way to gently remind people to slow down, savour what matters, and connect over a simple, beautiful cup of tea

Our Brand

What we truly wish for is simple - having more people enjoy good tea.

The Qing Tea Traditions label under 草木人 is a Singapore-based tea brand built on purpose, poetry, and people.

We offer thoughtfully curated teas sourced from family-owned farms in Japan and Taiwan — crafted not only for taste, but to evoke stillness, joy, and connection.

Questions you might have

What kind of tea leaves do you use?

We use only organic tea leaves and organic fruit or floral produce in our tea blends. These farms are all personally sourced and are family-run, which ensures the integrity and quality of the final products when they reach Qing Tea.

Our commitment to quality.

Want your tea to be fresh, not forgotten in storage. That's why we offer free shipping with a modest minimum so you can order just what you need. We also offer discounted subscription orders so that your favourites arrive regularly, just when you need them.

Do I have to strictly follow the brewing instructions on the packaging?

No, as each individual's preferred taste is subjective!

However the brewing instructions are intended to provide the optimized flavour to you and are recommended to follow if you are willing to go the extra mile.

Can I re-use my tea bag?

Definitely. In fact, we highly encourage you to do so! If you avoid over steeping it, you may enjoy up to 2 extra cups of brew with the same tea bag.

Do you ship outside of Singapore?

Unfortunately, our teas are only for sale within Singapore.

How long do I have to wait for my order?

Orders are typically dispatched every Monday and Thursday of the week. From there, local delivery may take up to 5 working days if there are no further delays on their end.

In the event we are out of town, an announcement will be made to notify all customers on the expected delays.

Have an idea for our teas or want our teas for something special?

We'd love to hear it - be it gifts, events, or something personal for that someone special. Write to us and let's brew something meaningful together.
