In 1872, a young Ceylonese named Balage Porolis De Silva planted his roots in Singapore, bringing with him a passion for Ceylon's finest teas. Within a jewelry boutique along High Street, he sought to enrich his customers' appreciation of jewelry by introducing them to the aromatic elegance of Ceylon tea. His vision laid the foundation for a family-run business that has preserved his legacy of artistry and craftsmanship for five generations.

Stepping into the helm of managing the family business from his father, Mr. Sunil, Rehan Amarasuriya recognizes the shifting dynamics of tea consumption. In today's world, younger generations are increasingly drawn to teas, from ready-to-drink options to the popularity of bubble teas.

With a keen understanding of how these changes have increased the opportunity for tea consumption, he steered the brand towards innovation while staying true to the brand's identity of elegance and luxury. Rehan reimagined The 1872 Clipper Tea Co.'s retail presence at ION Orchard and introduced a modern tea bar seamlessly blended into the shop spaces. This concept offers consumers an immersive experience to unwind and celebrate the art of tea culture.
