Lim Tian Wee has always been passionate about his family business Lim Lam Thye, one of Singapore’s largest tea traders.
This drove him to launch his own Gryphon Tea Company in 2006. And while tea may bean old trade, Tian Wee likes to push the boundaries of what tea can be.“I never fail to dream wild,” says the businessman, who has introduced exotic ingredients to Gryphon’s blends, including saffron and bamboo leaves. Fourteen years later, the company has a strong presence in South-east Asia and South Korea – with sights set on expanding even more.
