BORACAY – Planning to go to Boracay this summer? You might want to try the drinks served exclusively at Chatime’s branch at the White Beach.
The well-known Taiwanese milk tea chain recently launched a branch in Boracay, just a few steps from the White Beach shoreline. The new store offers all of Chatime’s bestselling products as well as three drinks that are served only on the island.
Taking a cue from the popularity of fruit shakes in Boracay, Chatime offers drinks made with crushed ice, tea and fresh fruits in season to beat the summer heat.
The Watermelon Lychee Fruit Tea is the most refreshing of the bunch, which also includes the sweet Mango Green Tea and the thick and creamy Banana Mango Milk Shake.
“These items are only for this store,” Chatime Philippines’ Chris Cua said as he showed the new products to selected members of the media. “For now, it’s mango, banana and watermelon. We’ll try using other fruits soon.”
“Over there is a famous fruit shake bar, and this is our take on that,” he added. “It’s not really a smoothie because we use crushed ice. You can chew on it and you get that added texture.”
Aside from the fruit shakes, Chatime has also introduced milk tea smoothies, which are only available in Philippine branches. Variants include Banana Milk Tea Smoothie, Strawberry Milk Tea Smoothie and Honey Oolong Tea Smoothie.
“The base is milk tea and it is made into a smoothie,” Cua said. “These are some of our bestselling milk teas.”
Soon to be available in the country is the global Chatime product Tea Air, which mixes tea with carbonated water.
