Sinensthesia

The Essence and The Alchemy

"Good food tells you where it's from. That is the essence of gastronomy."

We believe that good food is storytelling, and that an origin speaks volumes. It speaks of the entanglement of labor and love known as agriculture—the farmer's pride when the season finally bears fruit, and the story of the sun and the rain and the frost and the wind that greeted land and plant between plant and harvest.

With tea, it is the tale of ancient trees that have suffered and flourished through the years until the years became centuries, and in their leaf we taste the wisdom of the ages. It is the song of tender buds and leaves as they are rolled and wilted, fermented and smoked, aged and powdered, roasted and steamed, and, sometimes, left relatively unaltered as one humble plant is transformed into the many forms of tea we love and cherish.

At Sinensthesia, we celebrate our namesake plant, Camellia sinensis, and its countless stories, because we believe in good food and good tea. To capture and complement the complex yet ephemeral flavor of tea, we craft a seasonal menu that blends the art of mixology with the precision of molecular gastronomy. From vibrant cheong syrups to innovative toppings, each element is prepared in-house and designed to elevate the brew. Together, they create a cup that invites you on a sensory journey, where taste evokes color and aroma paints a memory.
