Tea-rrific News: This Award-Winning Taiwanese Milk Tea Is Now in Makati

(SPOT.ph) When merienda time rolls by, a bunch of us would grab a snack and pair it with a cool refreshing drink of choice. For most youngins and young-at-heart, this refresher would be bubble tea or more commonly known as milk tea. Ah yes, creamy, slightly bitter, and often clad with chewy tapioca pearls, this drink has captured the heart of most Filipinos. Heck, we're willing to bet you already have a brand that you're loyal to. But before you head to your usuals, you might want to drop by this new shop in Makati that sells top-notch, high-quality milk tea, so much so that it's a multi-awarded brand in Taiwan. We're talking about CHICHA San Chen, Makati's newest milk tea gem.

Check out the award-winning Taiwanese milk tea spot, CHICHA San Chen in Makati:

Located in Makati's Legazpi Village, CHICHA San Chen made its Philippine debut just this February. Now Filipinos have the chance to have a sip of their global favorites like the Dong Ding Oolong Tea Latte (P170), Bubble Milk Tea (P195) or the Taiwanese Fruit Tea (P230).

But if you want to experiment with flavors, you could also go ham and build your own drinks by combining your chosen tea, flavoring, and topping. You could also control the sweetness of your drinks, as well as the amount of ice. Scared to combine flavors? There's no need to fret as the baristas can help you out by suggesting tastes and textures that go well together.

With a relatively tiny store in the bustling city center, CHICHA San Chen proves size doesn't matter, as it produces freshly brewed cups of tea with every order. Yup, no pre-made teas or powders here. Each cup is brewed as you order, thanks to their exclusive Lion Teapresso Machine. 

CHICHA San Chen started in Taiwan in 1998. It has made high-quality, freshly brewed teas accessible to all kinds of tea drinkers. It was also the recipient of the Highest International Authority iTQi certification (International Taste & quality institute in Brussels) in 2017—an honor akin to receiving a Michelin star.

CHICHA San Chen is at BSA Suites,103 Don C. Palanca Street, Legazpi Village, Makati. For more information, visit CHICHA San Chen Philippines' Instagram account.
