A cup of tea. A mother's care.
My mum is a TCM practitioner. Growing up, I spent hours flipping through her Compendium of Materia Medica — thick, ancient books filled with the wisdom of thousands of years of Chinese medicine. I didn't know it then, but that's where Qi-cha began. During the pandemic, the days got longer and the nights shorter. My mum would remind me: "Brew some chrysanthemum and goji tea - protect your eyes, calm your liver." Before my period: "Red date and ginger, to warm you up." Every cup felt like her care, distilled into something I could hold in my hands. One day I thought - what if everyone could feel this? I started blending my own recipes and sharing them with friends. They loved them. That was the first version of Qi-cha.
The Beginning 启源
Originated in Singapore and inspired by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wellness traditions, Qi-cha reimagines herbal care for today’s fast-paced world. Each blend is reviewed by TCM physicians, caffeine-free and crafted in small batches using quality natural ingredients with no additives or artificial coloring.
The Inspiration 启发
Qi-cha was born from a daughter’s memory of her mother, a TCM practitioner whose gentle reminders to “brew a cup of chrysanthemum tea” became acts of care and comfort. That memory sparked a brand devoted to balance, authenticity, and everyday wellness.
The Promise 启茶
We believe herbal wellness should be simple and enjoyable, never bitter or complicated. Each Qi-cha blend is thoughtfully crafted for modern living to restore energy, calm the mind, support digestion, enhance focus, and promote restful sleep. Every cup is smooth, flavourful, and nourishing, carefully balanced and sealed in convenient teabags for effortless brewing and everyday calm. Wellness made simple. Take a moment for yourself.
