Since 2005, Chatime has been serving millions of customers with their favorite cup of tea, making it part of every occasion, celebration or simply cupping a busy day at work.
The word ‘cha’ means ‘tea’. So technically ‘chatime’ could be loosely translated into ‘teatime’. But today, with over 1000 locations around the globe, Chatime™ means so much more than that.
Chatime is a Taiwanese franchise founded in 2005 with over 1000 retail outlets across countries like Taiwan, Malaysia, China, India, Macau, Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, Dubai, Vietnam, Canada, UK, Mexico and the United States.
As one of the top beverage companies in the world, Chatime aims to be the most loved beverage by revolutionizing the tea drinking culture in the country. Chatime prepares only hand-made beverages with freshly brewed tea prepared on site. Each drink is individually prepared by trained tearistas worldwide.
In order to serve a beverage liked by all, Chatime uses sophisticated tea and coffee machines to produce only the highest quality drinks. Vila and Jay who grew up in Asia and relocated from Minneapolis decided to create something fun and bring Chatime to Kansas City. So in 2021, we opened our first bubble tea shop with all the favorite toppings one can dream of.
