About Us
what if silence could heal, connect, and include?
This was the profound question we asked when Hush began in 2014 as Singapore’s first Silent TeaBar - a social enterprise committed to rehumanising workplaces, schools and communities through tea, gesture and presence. Completely led by Deaf individuals and persons with lived experience in mental health.
We live in a time of constant noise - where burnout feels normal, and listening feels rare. Hush TeaBar offers a radical alternative: a space where stillness becomes strength, listening becomes connection, and silence becomes inclusion.
Because when we slow down together, we rediscover what it truly means to be human.
What started as a quiet idea has blossomed into a nationwide movement of pause, reflection, and inclusion.
how can we care more?

The 3Ps at Hush
Planet
We honour the Earth with every ritual.
Our flowers and leaves are repurposed by Hello Flowers, a social enterprise that gives new life to pre-loved blooms. Our teas, sustainably sourced from Ewasaran & Bros in Sri Lanka, reflect a commitment to ethical partnerships and authentic craft.
Sustainability isn’t an afterthought; it’s a way of being - woven into every session, every sip, every pause.
People
People are the heart of Hush - those who journey with us and those who make our work possible.
Our Hushers (participants) come from workplaces, schools, and communities across Singapore, stepping courageously into silence.
Our Hushies (facilitators) include Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals, persons with lived mental health experience, and allies - all co-creating inclusive spaces for reflection, empathy, and healing.
True inclusion means everyone, especially those often unseen, can belong and be heard.
Performance
At Hush, performance is measured not only by results but by purpose, pride, and care.
For over a decade, we’ve remained self-funded and trusted by workplaces, schools, and communities for the quality and heart of our work.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of empathy, integrity, and excellence - delivering experiences that transform, not just perform.
Our Values
Empathy
Well-Being
Empathy
The foundation of true connection.
At Hush, we create space to see, hear, and honour each other’s lived experiences - especially those often unheard.
Pause
Well-Being
Empathy
In a world that celebrates hustle and noise, we choose to slow down.
Pausing isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity - a moment to breathe, to reflect, and to rediscover presence.
Well-Being
Well-Being
Well-Being
We centre our work around care - for self, others, and community.
To us, well-being isn’t about perfection, but about creating spaces where people feel safe, valued, and free to grow.
Through guided silent reflection, gentle expression, and creative exploration, we help people care for themselves, listen to others, and find clarity amidst chaos.
V. Reshii, General Manager, Hush TeaBar
In a world that rewards noise and speed, Hush invites stillness. In spaces that celebrate speaking, we honour listening.

In silence we remember who we are - and who we are to each other. In a world that rewards doing, HUSH reminds us the power of simply being.
