Wait, no-added sugar, low-calorie tea beverages that still taste sweet?
Home-grown brand LiHO TEA, in partnership with Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), has opened its very first healthy and eco-friendly concept in Singapore – for those who want to have tasty drinks that are healthy.
The drinks at this new KTPH outlet are served at default 0% sweetness level.
Also look out for 1-for-1 GRAPEFRUiTEA and VitaliTEA for the KTPH outlet opening special, till end of Nov 2021 (while stocks last).
If you like some sweetness in them, only Stevia sweeteners are used – replacing the conventional sugar syrup.
Ushering in a new breed of tea drinks to cater to healthier-drink-seekers, LiHO TEA presents its range of “Zero Sugar Added” tea beverages made with Stevia.
This natural sweetener comes from the leaves of the plant Stevia rebaudiana and is a popular sugar substitute. You would be amazed Stevia is 100x to 300x sweeter than table sugar, yet it has no calories.
All the base drinks (without any toppings) have sugar content less than 5% of entire drink and classified under the HPB healthier choice requirements.
LiHO TEA is committed to offer better beverages that they partnered with a respectable Singapore food tech company to work on an improved version of Stevia.
Better in taste and flavour, the improved Stevia mix will be progressively rolled out for use across all outlets islandwide; and customers can feel free to request for it.
Behind this new Zero Added Sugar concept is an eco-friendly outlet at KTPH, promoting initiatives to reduce sugar intake, reduce use of plastic, and reduce wastage.
Plastic straws will not be offered to customers. Should straws really be required for consumption (for drinks with toppings), bio-degradable PLA straws will be given.
Drinks will also only be offered in medium size only, to reduce potential wastage.
Aside from using paper cups at the outlet (featured in photo above), LiHO TEA will also be offering a $0.50 discount when customers who bring their own cups to get their cup of tea (T&C apply, not applicable with other promotions).
