The Ultimate Tea Experience
More than just a tea store, we are storytellers of Chinese tea culture, offering an experience that connects tradition, craftsmanship, and the quiet beauty of tea in everyday life.
San Yuan Tea House
San Yuan Tea House was started from an appreciation of authentic Chinese tea and a desire to share it. We believe that a cup of good tea is able to bring us clarity, richness and serenity, and we wanted to share these feelings with the world.
With a sincere appreciation for Chinese tea, we source for the teas that impress and pots that help to brew teas better, in order to bring the best side of teas to you. We experiment with our brewing methods, storage methods or anything that might affect the tea, in hopes that each and every tea can blossom in our hands. And finally, hoping that these teas will be able to move you too.
A Journey of Wellness, Scent, and Authentic Tea Tradition
At San Yuan Tea House, we believe tea is not just a beverage — it is a way of life. Nestled in the heart of Singapore, our tea house is a sanctuary where tradition meets wellness, and every cup reflects centuries of wisdom and care.
Our philosophy is built upon three core values:
Health
Tea That Nurtures the Body
The first priority of all our tea, we believe a good tea should benefit our health instead of harm. Full in antioxidants, polyphenols and minerals, tea is famously known to be one of the healthiest drinks known to us. However, as tea-connoisseurs, we know that the greatest danger to the cultivation of tea is pesticide. The infection of man-made chemicals has the potential to contaminate the leaves, adulterate its health benefits and ruin the drinking experience. At San Yuan Tea House, we believe that the first criteria a tea should fulfill is for it to benefit our health and is committed to ensure our tea help instead of harm.
Fragrance
Where Scent Meets Soul
At San Yuan Tea House, be it the subtle elegance, or the strong burst of energy, we look for teas that each has their own unique character. In fact, it all comes very instinctively. If we allow the tea to grow on its own in its natural environment, each tea will develop its own unique characteristic and flavour that feels pure, natural and comfortable. And this is the taste we are looking for.
AUTHENTICITY
True Origins, Untouched Purity
Tea is the most direct way for us to connect with mother nature. When we drink tea, we are essentially drinking whatever the plant absorbs, be it the fresh air of the mountains, or the sweet spring water than flows down the stream. Hence, at San Yuan Tea House, we strive to get teas from authentic regions and which are unadulterated. This carefulness speaks for itself in the freshness and luxuriousness of our tea-lines.
Experience the art of tea the San Yuan way — where health, fragrance, and authenticity are brewed into every cup.
Quietly sharing the heart of tea
We believe that tea is more than a drink — it is a quiet companion, a bridge between tradition and modern life. Our mission is to honour the essence of Chinese tea and share its richness with the world. Through thoughtful sourcing, mindful brewing, and sincere hospitality, we hope to bring warmth, clarity, and connection to everyone who drinks our tea.
Our Mission
We are here to honour Chinese tea by selecting and serving authentic teas that are pure, healthful, and full of character. Our goal is to create meaningful tea experiences that bring calm, clarity, and connection to everyday life.
Our Vision
We hope to be a place where people rediscover the beauty of tea. A space where tradition is preserved, tea is appreciated with care, and every cup invites a deeper connection with oneself and others.
