Bubble-tea chain Milksha opened in Australia

Taiwanese bubble-tea chain Milksha has opened a flagship store in Melbourne, Australia.

The store is the Milkshop brand’s first flagship in Australia. It operates 240 locations in several Asian countries.

The brand is known for its use of fresh milk rather than creamer.

“Those familiar with the Milksha brand know that it’s a premium bubble tea brand,” said Milkshop International GM Peter Huang. “We chose Melbourne to launch our flagship store because it is no doubt the foodie capital of Australia. The city is a melting pot of different cultures open to trying new products, which can be seen in its established and growing market of bubble-tea lovers.”

The firm is partnering with local supplier St David’s Dairy for fresh milk.
