Have you ever seen tea that comes in a small, cute, and compact tin? That’s exactly how we envisioned our Petite Tins, launched last June during our brand relaunch — and let’s just say, they were an instant hit. We sold over 900 tins during the event alone!
So why was it such a success? Let me be honest — besides the affordable price at just $12 per tin, people loved it because it’s adorable, thoughtful, and comes with a petite paper bag perfect for gifting. It’s the kind of present that makes people smile even before they open it.
The Story Behind the Petite Tins
It all started with a casual suggestion from a friend:
“Rosemary, why don’t you make blooming tea in a smaller portion?”
And that one comment sparked an idea. I planned it, envisioned it, and eventually brought it to life. Our Petite Tins each come with two blooming tea balls, featuring 10 beautiful flavors, including three uniquely Singapore-inspired blends:
💚 Ondeh Ondeh (Pandan Coconut) – A sweet, nostalgic blend inspired by one of Singapore’s favorite kuehs.
🍍 Rolling Pineapple (Pineapple) – A tropical and vibrant tea that captures the warmth of the island.
🌹 Rose by the Bay (Rose Milk) – A soft floral tea inspired by the Gardens by the Bay — elegant, fragrant, and unmistakably Singaporean.
Foreign visitors loved these flavors — many got curious, tried one, and came back to bring more home for their friends and family. It’s more than just a tea — it’s a taste of Singapore, a keepsake that tells a story.
A Thoughtful Gift, A Taste of Home
What makes our Petite Tins special isn’t just their look — it’s the meaning behind them.
Each tin holds a blooming tea ball that unfurls gracefully in hot water, symbolizing calm, mindfulness, and beauty in the everyday.
They’re perfect as:
• Souvenirs for your foreign friends who want to bring a piece of Singapore home
• Corporate gifts that show thought and creativity
• Personal treats for your own moments of calm and reflection
Light, compact, and designed with love — these tins are easy to carry, easy to gift, and even easier to fall in love with.
As a business owner, I’ve learned that innovation doesn’t always mean creating something entirely new. Sometimes, it’s about listening, observing, and reimagining what people already love — then making it more meaningful.
The Petite Tins remind me that small ideas can bloom into something extraordinary.
When you create with intention — whether it’s a business, a gift, or even a cup of tea — people can feel it.
So the next time you’re looking for something to share with your loved ones abroad, give them not just a taste of Singapore — but a moment of warmth, beauty, and mindfulness.
