They opened the first-ever branch in the Philippines which is located on Carlos Palanca Street, Legazpi Village, Makati. The branch is in a busy area of Makati, making it accessible to both residents and tourists. The CHICHA San Chen branch in Makati is relatively small and does not have any dining area.

Many customers opt to take their drinks to-go, while some choose to stand and drink by the store’s counter.

CHICHA San Chen

The story of CHICHA San Chen began with the founder. He had a passion for tea and wanted to share the traditional Taiwanese tea culture with the world. The brand’s name means “to drink tea three times” or “to have tea thrice” in the Taiwanese Hokkien dialect. Furthermore, the “San Chen” part of the name refers to the three times that the tea leaves are brewed, which is a traditional brewing method used in Taiwanese tea culture.

This reflects the founder’s commitment to using high-quality ingredients and brewing methods. Whether you’re a fan of classic milk tea or want to try something new, their menu has a variety of options to choose from. The cozy and intimate atmosphere of the store makes for a unique experience and adds to the charm of the brand’s Taiwanese tea culture. CHICHA San Chen uses natural materials such as wood, stone, and metal to create a warm and welcoming environment. The use of these materials also helps to reinforce the brand’s commitment to sustainability and eco-friendliness.
