Singapore’s beloved heritage brand, Yeo Hiap Seng, affectionately known as Yeo’s, has unveiled an enchanting and immersive experience amidst the lush greenery of Singapore’s renowned horticultural gem, Gardens by the Bay. Enter the world of Yeo’s Drinkable Garden, a captivating ode to nature’s bounty and Yeo’s signature chrysanthemum tea.
This month-long exhibit invites visitors on a sensory journey, celebrating the art of tea-making and the beauty of chrysanthemums in a setting that’s as refreshing as the drinks themselves.
A Feast for the Senses
Inspired by the various brews of Yeo’s chrysanthemum tea, Yeo’s Drinkable Garden is a multi-sensorial delight. Here, you’ll encounter Yeo’s iconic Chrysanthemum Tea, the heavenly Snow Chrysanthemum Tea, and a tantalizing Rose-Infused Chrysanthemum brew. Each installation mirrors the unique essence of these teas, offering a visual and aromatic feast.
Unveiling the Craft
As you explore, you’ll gain insight into the meticulous craftsmanship behind Yeo’s chrysanthemum tea. From the careful cultivation and harvesting of fresh chrysanthemum petals to the delicate drying process, masterful brewing techniques, and the final step of expert cooling and packaging – every detail is a testament to Yeo’s commitment to quality.
A Tribute to Singapore’s Founding Prime Minister
While wandering through this immersive garden, watch for special edition Yeo’s chrysanthemum tea packs. These commemorative packs pay homage to the centenary of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister, the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, affectionately known as Singapore’s “chief gardener.” They are a tribute to his visionary role in transforming Singapore into a vibrant green city.
These limited-edition packs are not for sale; they will be distributed in educational settings across Singapore, including Gardens by the Bay, as a token of appreciation to visitors while stocks last.
Sustainable Innovations
Yeo’s Drinkable Garden also marks Yeo’s commitment to sustainability. By diversifying the range of chrysanthemum flowers used in their drinks, they aim to reduce their reliance on a single crop. This ensures a healthy supply of chrysanthemum flowers for the future and promotes biodiversity in their primary product ingredient.
Chrysanthemum Charm at Gardens by the Bay
Your journey through Yeo’s Drinkable Garden perfectly complements the upcoming Chrysanthemum Charm exhibit at Gardens by the Bay’s Flower Dome, opening on 29 September. Inspired by the vast grasslands of Mongolia, this display showcases a stunning array of chrysanthemum varieties made possible by the support of Yeo’s.
Supporting Artistry at Supertree Grove
Yeo’s commitment to floral artistry continues with their support of Gardens by the Bay’s inaugural Flower Carpet at Supertree Grove, opening on September 23. This intricate masterpiece promises to be a visual delight for all visitors.
