Don't sleep on CHAGEE Teaspresso! Your favorite Milk tea brand's take on everyday caffeine ritual is now made of Pure Tea. CHAGEE's take on everyday caffeine ritual is getting an upgrade! The international tea brand is finally expanding its Teaspresso series, one of CHAGEE's OG infusions especially crafted for hardworking urban hustlers, with two pure tea flavors. To welcome the new offerings to its growing lineup of high-quality teas, CHAGEE is mounting a Teaspresso Flight Experience every Tuesday and Thursday at select stores from October 13 to 30 in addition to a series of promos all month long. A staple in the tea brand's product lineup, Teaspresso is a special infusion brewed for laptop nomads who are constantly seeking caffeine-filled drinks to fuel their work days. Although it has been sitting quietly on the sidelines of CHAGEE's local menu since 2025, Teaspresso has been attracting a niche audience and brewing its own fanbase. This month, the series is finally taking center stage. Coffee for caffeine? How about a Teaspresso? Rooted in CHAGEE's tea-making heritage, Teaspresso combines the craft of tea with the precision of espresso-style extraction - a pressure-extraction method similar to an espresso machine - to draw out the tea's delicate aroma and flavor. The result is a bold yet smooth tea experience that brings out the leaves' rich scent, body, and complexity, while preserving the qualities that make premium tea distinctive. Teaspresso reflects a changing relationship with caffeine, one that leaves room for tea to take center stage. Its concentrated, full-bodied profile also serves as a versatile base for lattes and frappes, giving Filipinos different ways to enjoy the depth of tea in their everyday routines. The first local lineup introduced in 2025 included Lapsang Souchong Teaspresso Latte, Da Hong Pao Teaspresso Latte, Chocolate Cookie Lapsang Souchong Teaspresso Frappe, Caramel Da Hong Pao Teaspresso Frappe. This October, CHAGEE is introducing the new Teaspresso Pure Tea series, offering a more tea-forward take on the tea-based espresso experience. Available at only 21 CHAGEE stores, the new lineup features the Da Hong Pao Teaspresso Pure Tea and Lapsang Souchong Teaspresso Pure Tea. Monthlong Teaspresso Promos Recognizing the rise of young professionals and students working at cafes looking for a caffeine boost to increase productivity, CHAGEE is celebrating the expanded Teaspresso series with exciting promos all month long. From October 9 to 11, CHAGEE's Teaspresso Lucky Sip promo will be available via the CHAGEE app. Every Teaspresso purchase comes with a surprise cup tag for a chance to win rewards. Winners of instant prizes can redeem free upsizes, ₱50 discounts, and 30% off vouchers, while winners of grand prizes can take home a free drink and a limited number of CHAGEE merchandise such as lanyards, tote bags, and notebooks - until supplies last. Prizes are redeemable at all participating stores. CHAGEE's stamp card collection promo runs from October 12 to 27. Customers earn one stamp for every daily Teaspresso purchase to build streaks, unlock perks, and make Teaspresso part of their daily ritual. A three-day streak earns a free drink voucher for a drink of the customer's choice and size, while a five-day streak gives a free cup sling. In the same period, CHAGEE will be dropping its Constellation Bundles where customers can get a free Teaspresso drink for every purchase of any Constellation merch, including tumbler, notebook, totebag, and lanyard. CHAGEE's popular Brew Crew is joining the Teaspresso craze. From October 16 to 27, customers can get 2 Brew Crew Blindboxes + 1 FREE Teaspresso Latte or Signature Matcha Latte for only ₱699 or ₱799 via Grabfood. Finally, CHAGEE's Four The Crew promo runs from October 21-27, offering a buy-three-get-one deal perfect for groups of CHAGEE fans. The promo applies only to Fresh Milk Teas, Lemon Fruit Teas, and Teaspresso Latte and Frappe series. Tara, Work from CHAGEE! For Pinoy hustlers juggling deadlines, meetings, and everything in between, finding the right space to get things done can make all the difference. This month, CHAGEE is giving Filipinos more reasons to experience tea-based caffeine to power their day by transforming select tea houses in Metro Manila into a productivity space. Happening every Tuesday and Thursday from October 13 to 30, CHAGEE will be holding a free Teaspresso Flight Experience, a tea tasting and tea ritual activity guided by its in-house tea masters at five CHAGEE stores, including Robinsons Galleria, Greenfield District, National University MOA, GLAS Tower, and Park Triangle. There will be two flights per session scheduled at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, and each session will have 10 flight slots. Interested customers can sign up and book a flight slot via the official registration links posted on CHAGEE's social pages. "Hardworking students and young professionals need two things: a dose of caffeine to power their day and a space conducive for working and learning. Moreover, we recognize that caffeine culture is evolving as more consumers are exploring alternatives to coffee. Teaspresso is our answer to that. The new flavors in our Teaspresso series are re-engineered tea experiences that combine premium tea craftsmanship with modern brewing techniques and unexpected flavor combinations to create a new, elevated way to enjoy tea. We invite Filipinos to experience our expanded Teaspresso line right at our tea stores, which are designed to be a productivity-inducing space," said Christopher "Sonny" Tiong, General Manager, CHAGEE Philippines.

Heytea draws hours-long queues at Thailand debut. * by admin * September 28, 2026 Chinese tea chain Heytea attracted crowds of customers to its first store in Thailand on Friday. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn] Chinese tea chain Heytea attracted crowds of customers to its first store in Thailand on Friday, with consumers queuing for more than three hours despite heavy rain, showing a growing demand for China's premium tea brands as they accelerate international expansion. The store, located at Bangkok's CentralWorld shopping mall, marks Heytea's entry into Thailand, one of Southeast Asia's most competitive beverage markets. According to the company, some customers began lining up before 5 am, while the queue stretched about 300 meters at its peak, despite heavy rain, while local tourism authority welcomed the arrival of the Chinese brand on its social media channels. The Bangkok outlet is also Heytea's first overseas Heytea lab 2.0 store, a concept designed to showcase new products beyond its core tea menu. Alongside signature drinks such as Coconut Mango and Triple Matcha, the store features three experimental formats - tea lab, bake lab and gelato lab - and debuted teaAir, a new "tea cloud" concept introduced globally for the first time. Chinese tea chain Heytea attracted crowds of customers to its first store in Thailand on Friday. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn] The launch also includes several products developed specifically for the Thai market, including teaAir · Rock Oolong Jackfruit, Thai Milk Tea Croissant Egg Tart, and Lime Thai Milk Gelato. Heytea is among a growing number of Chinese beverage brands expanding overseas as competition intensifies at home. China's premium tea market has become increasingly crowded in recent years, with leading chains including Mixue, CHAGEE and Heytea competing aggressively for market share. For Heytea, the Bangkok opening builds on earlier international expansion in North America and other Asian markets. Previous Heytea lab stores in New York and Toronto also attracted long queues when they opened. [email protected] Tanks to chinadaily.com.cn Please visit: Its Sponsor

Chagee teams up with CLOT for a matcha-focused collaboration. Chagee x CLOT: Key takeaways * Chagee and CLOT launched three matcha drinks with peel-back packaging that reveals co-branded motifs and potential prizes * Badges, blind boxes and more than 200,000 winning cups turn product sampling into a collectable experience * Despite CLOT's previous HEYTEA partnership, Chagee differentiates its campaign through interactive packaging and spokesperson Lin Yi. Chagee have teamed up with much-hyped Hong Kong man of fashion Edison Chen. He's the eye behind CLOT, the brand that launched the highly popular Chinese-style Adidas jacket. He was also part of a big-hit HEYTEA collaboration (but let's not remind Chagee of that). This collaboration centres on a range of matcha drinks. Actor Lin Yi (林一) fronts the packaging on a trio of vanilla, jasmine, and peach-oolong varieties. Peeling that packaging away reveals CLOT's pale-green geometrics and dragon motifs. It's also where a prize mechanic begins. More than 200,000 winning cups are in circulation, offering customers the chance to claim branded rugs, insulated flasks or drink vouchers. A linked mini-programme promises further prizes. Lin Yi has been a brand friend since Jan 2025. Now he's been bumped up to matcha-series spokesperson (抹茶系列代言人). His first job was announcing to customers that they should peel back that packaging - all done through his Weibo account to solid levels of engagement. Incentives are also built into the purchasing process. Selected single-drink sets include one of three random metal badges. Customers buying designated two-drink sets receive a blind box containing either a badge set or a plush accessory. But is this enough to stand out? The Dao view: Differentiation is key here. CLOT's dalliance with Chagee's competitor needs mentioning. Ordinarily the past affiliation might be a reason to find alternatives. But this is China. The country's collaboration cycle is a fickle thing. Consumers have likely moved on. If they haven't, the HEYTEA x CLOT collab may even spark positive memories that drive purchases. The important thing is that Chagee differentiate. They can't be seen to do the same thing as HEYTEA. And they haven't. The peel-back packaging provides a new way for consumers to interact with the collaboration, as well as a mechanism for merchandising. Adding Lin Yi's face pushes it in new directions too. The engagement with his Weibo announcements shows that all this is working the way it should.
