CHATIME

"Chatime is a Taiwanese global franchise  teahouse chain based in Taiwan"

Guess who brought the popular tea franchise to our shores. Yes its Johnlu Koa who   also owns The French Baker.

"Chatime" means sunrise in Chinese.  The very first store in the Philippines opened in Pioneer Center in 2011. Most ingredients are shipped from Taiwan including the tea leaves, pearls, etc. Fresh milk and whipping cream are sourced locally though

My favorite among the drinks is their  Pearl Milk Tea. I love their chewy and flavor-filled pearls as well.

Last Friday September 14, Chatime was supposed to be one of the restaurants included in the COFFEE AND MILK TEA CRAWL  in SM City Sucat. After all their sister company The French Baker is also participating. They backed out at the last moment however. So I just bought my favorite Pearl Milk Tea to satisfy my craving.
