Chicha San Chen opens in Singapore

Taiwanese bubble-tea chain Chicha San Chen has opened its first outlet in Singapore.

Located in 313@Somerset, the flagship store has modern design with an open kitchen.

Customers can make their own tea and watch as it brews in a Teapresso machine.

They can choose from milk-tea, fruit-tea or pure-tea bases including Green Tea, Osmanthus Oolong Tea, High Mountain Pouchong Tea, Black Tea, Dong Ding Oolong Tea and Cassia Black Tea.

The store also features a tea appreciation counter where tea connoisseurs can learn more about teas and sample the special Taiwanese Lishan Qingxin Oolong Tea.

Established in Taichung 20 years ago, Chicha now has more than 200 stores in Taiwan and China.

Chicha has its own tea plantations in Taiwan, where they harvest their tea leaves and other ingredients.
