Kontea's Story
Our Story
They noticed, soon after, a lack of knowledge in herbal tea amongst the masses, particularly the misinformation, improper consumption, and misconception surrounding herbal tea. Therefore, in December 2013, they started Kang Won Herbal Tea and rebranded as KONTEA in 2020, providing a one-stop service which includes the preparation, brewing, and doorstep delivery of herbal tea, all personally handled by the duo.
CP Loh believes that most of the misconception towards herbal tea are the main contributor to their seemingly slow and insignificant medicinal effect. The public has been long accustomed to the common effects of herbal tea, such as eliminating “excessive heat” and “heaty-ness”, however there are many other herbal teas with a wide range of medicinal benefits that are not commonly known, such as the Calming Tea which improves insomnia. There are also some herbal teas that can be consumed daily even without signs or symptoms. KONTEA staff are carefully trained to understand customers’ body condition and symptoms, thus providing professional advice and services to customers.

KONTEA is created with the concept of a modern café in mind, aiming to create a lifestyle centered around traditional health drinks, i.e. the herbal tea. KONTEA serves herbal tea using fine Korean ceramic tea sets, which not only greatly enhances the tea-drinking experience, but also redefines the perception of the public towards herbal tea, making it a more tempting and trendy choice for gatherings amongst the younger generations.
