Bringing traditional wellness into everyday enjoyment
Entrepreneur Circle Member Story · 12 Oct 2026
01 Wellness can begin with something as simple as enjoying what you drink.
At Entrepreneur Circle, we believe every business has a person, a story and a purpose behind it.
For Wang Weicheng of Lil Lixir, that story unfolds through kombucha — a fermented tea beverage given a refreshing interpretation inspired by traditional Chinese herbal knowledge.
Lil Lixir brings together premium tea leaves, natural fermentation, fruits and herbs to create drinks intended to feel approachable rather than unfamiliar.
Its philosophy centres on a simple idea: for wellness to become part of everyday life, it should be something people genuinely enjoy.
Beyond bottled kombucha, the brand also explores creative workshops, event experiences and new ways of bringing its products into daily routines.

The person behind the business
From financial advisory to the world of kombucha, Wang Weicheng’s entrepreneurial journey began with a conversation that sparked an unexpected opportunity.
Before co-founding Lil Lixir, Weicheng worked as a Financial Adviser with Great Eastern. While his professional background was in financial services, he had an interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the role traditional ingredients could play in everyday wellness.
That interest eventually led to a conversation with his business partner, who was already brewing kombucha from home. Seeing an opportunity to bring the two ideas together, Weicheng decided to explore a business built around kombucha infused with Asian-inspired flavours and traditional herbs.
What caught his attention was how unfamiliar kombucha still was to many consumers. Rather than introducing another conventional kombucha brand, he wanted to create something that felt more relatable to Asian tastes and everyday drinking habits.
Together with his partner, he established Lil Lixir, with the aim of making kombucha more approachable through carefully developed flavours and TCM-inspired ingredients.
Singapore’s high rental costs led the team to establish its production operations in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. While this helped address the cost of operating locally, it also meant navigating an unfamiliar business environment and learning how to manage operations across the border.
For Weicheng, these challenges became part of the experience of building something new.
Today, his role focuses primarily on business networking, developing relationships and securing event opportunities for Lil Lixir. One of his most satisfying achievements is seeing the company’s calendar filled with events for the month — a tangible sign that his efforts to introduce the brand to more people are paying off.
Looking ahead, he hopes to expand Lil Lixir’s sales into Malaysia, although building the manpower needed to support that growth remains a consideration.
As Lil Lixir develops its business-to-business channels, Weicheng believes that genuine relationships are essential to long-term growth.
With many kombucha brands available in the market, he recognises that taste is subjective and that a good product alone may not always be enough to set a business apart.
For him, meaningful networking is not simply about finding the next sale. It is about building trust, understanding the people behind other businesses and creating opportunities to grow together.
“I believe wellness shouldn’t be a luxury, but a way of life. Through Lil Lixir, my mission is to make healthier choices more accessible to everyone.”
— Wang Weicheng, Co-Founder of Lil Lixir
From financial advisory to entrepreneurship, Weicheng’s journey reflects a willingness to recognise opportunities, learn through unfamiliar challenges and build a business through genuine human connections.
Through Lil Lixir, he continues to explore how traditional inspiration, contemporary beverages and business relationships can come together to make everyday wellness more approachable.
The business
Lil Lixir is a kombucha brand bringing together traditional Chinese herbal inspiration and modern fermentation to create refreshing drinks for everyday enjoyment.
Built around the belief that wellness should begin with something enjoyable, the brand aims to make kombucha more approachable and easier to incorporate into daily life.
Its kombucha is artisanally brewed using premium tea leaves, naturally fermented and blended with fruits, herbs and other botanicals to create distinctive flavour combinations.
Traditional Chinese Medicine provides an important source of inspiration. Familiar ingredients such as ginger, red dates, roselle and hawthorn are reimagined through contemporary brewing, connecting traditional herbal knowledge with modern tastes. The drinks are brewed in small batches, with blends curated by TCM specialists.
Lil Lixir also emphasises natural ingredients, balanced flavours and an experience that does not rely on heavy sweetness.
Beyond its bottled beverages, the brand offers kombucha-based wellness bundles, concentrated shots, creative workshops and event beverage services.
Through these different experiences, Lil Lixir makes room for kombucha to be enjoyed not only as a drink, but also as part of social occasions, creative activities and everyday routines.
