MANILA, Philippines — Following what appeared to be a thrilling lead-up to its anticipated Manila opening, global tea sensation CHAGEE finally makes its Philippine debut, serving up its favorite and best-selling drink, BO·YA Jasmine Green Milk Tea to its Filipino customer base.

The Jasmine Green Milk Tea, more known to the global milk tea community as BO·YA, serves as the brand’s signature drink that has sold more than 600 million cups to date. It is made from whole tea leaves, specifically a blend of premium green tea leaves native to Yunnan high mountains, Dabaihao Green Tea, and Double-Petal Jasmine.

Whether they’ve followed the hype online or are just discovering CHAGEE, milk tea fans are now lining up to the brand breaking new ground in Manila.

BO·YA Jasmine Green Milk Tea gained global popularity because of its distinct rich tea body and natural floral aroma, made with what is described as high quality ingredients fusing seamlessly with modern tea craftsmanship. Using traditional multi-round scenting methods, the Jasmine blossoms are layered over the green tea leaves to absorb the scent of the flowers, leaving a naturally-layered aroma.

The result is BO·YA, crafted from premium tea leaves and paired with Arla milk for a naturally smooth taste. With no artificial flavoring tea base and no artificial sweeteners, for a pure and authentic milk tea experience.
