ion City Meadery is a Singapore based craft mead brewery and distributor. Our goal is pretty simple. To brew the mead that we love to drink and, most importantly, have some fun and meeting new friends while doing it.
The second seasonal mead in our “Liang-teh” or “asian herbal tea” series is our homage to the Longan Red-date Tea.
The original tea was traditionally consumed by pregnant women as a prenatal tonic.
Consumption of the tea was believed to impart notable benefits such as increased blood circulation, fortified immune system and general well-being.
In modern times, just about anyone has access to this tea and it’s readily available as a yummy packaged ready to consume beverage.
In an attempt to preserve as much of the original flavours as possible, we raided the chinese medical halls for dried red-dates and dried longans that were specifically graded for aroma and sweetness. We steeped and boiled everything, added our proprietary blend of honey and fermented the mixture into this mead.
