Founded in 2006, Gryphon Tea Company is one of Singapore's leading tea companies that specialises in high quality and distinctive gourmet teas. Supplying to major luxury hotel chains (e.g. Pan Pacific Singapore) and independent food establishments, Gryphon Tea Company has become one of the affordable luxuries that I indulge in on a regular basis.

The Great Taste Award that is sometimes being termed as the 'Oscars of the Culinary World' showcases quality products that have won awards through rigorous blind-tastes by top chefs and trained food writers over a period of over 50 days. The result of it all? A carefully curated list of artisan products that meet the high standards of this F&B industry.
