Why this page was updated
This guide was updated on June 23, 2026 because CHAGEE’s US footprint changed quickly after the first California launch. The old version still treated LA and Pasadena as the main story. The official CHAGEE US location page now lists a broader California rollout, and US search demand has shifted toward “CHAGEE menu”, “CHAGEE near me”, “CHAGEE locations”, and “what is CHAGEE”.
What is CHAGEE?
CHAGEE, written as 霸王茶姬 in Chinese, started in Yunnan, China in 2017. The brand describes itself as a modern teahouse from Yunnan and says it uses premium whole tea leaves for brewed teas and tea lattes. Its US site says the brand has grown to more than 7,500 locations worldwide, while its global site still uses older 6,000-plus store language on some pages.
That size matters. CHAGEE is not a small indie tea shop. It is a public, multinational tea chain with a clear positioning: fresher tea, polished packaging, simple menu categories, and drinks that feel closer to a tea latte than a syrup-heavy dessert.

CHAGEE menu: what it sells
The US menu is organized into four groups:
| Menu category | Examples on the US site | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Extracted teas | Amber Oolong Tea Latte, Roasted Black Pure Tea, Roasted Black Tea Latte, Ceylon Black Tea Latte | People who want stronger roasted or black tea flavor |
| Brewed teas | BOYA Tea Latte, Jasmine Green Pure Tea, Peach Oolong Tea Latte | First-time orders and lighter milk tea |
| Citrus teafreshers | Jasmine Green Citrus Teafresher, Peach Oolong Citrus Teafresher, Roasted Black Citrus Teafresher | People who want tea without milk |
| Special teas | CHAGEE Daydream | Dessert-style drink with cream and caramel |
CHAGEE’s US site currently shows fewer topping choices than a typical boba chain. That is part of the brand. You can still get a sweet, creamy drink, but the center of the menu is tea choice: jasmine green, oolong, roasted black, Ceylon black, peach oolong, and citrus tea.
What should you order first?
Order BOYA Tea Latte first if you want the safest CHAGEE drink. It is the jasmine green milk tea and the official menu calls it the brand’s global bestseller. Get it at a lower sweetness level if you want the jasmine and green tea to stay noticeable.
If you already know your tea preference, use this rule:
| You like | Best first CHAGEE order | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Light floral milk tea | BOYA Tea Latte | Jasmine green tea is the easiest first order |
| Roasted tea | Amber Oolong Tea Latte | Oolong gives more caramel and nutty notes |
| Strong black tea | Roasted Black Tea Latte | Better if you want a deeper tea base with milk |
| No milk | Jasmine Green Pure Tea or Peach Oolong Pure Tea | Cleaner tea flavor and lower dessert feel |
| Bright fruit tea | Jasmine Green or Peach Oolong Citrus Teafresher | Tea plus lemon/lime, not a heavy milk drink |
| Dessert drink | CHAGEE Daydream | Oolong, caramel, ice, whipped cream, and a sweeter profile |

How CHAGEE compares with other boba chains
CHAGEE sits closer to Gong Cha, Heytea, and high-end local tea shops than to budget chains like Mixue. The difference is not just price. It is the reason to go.
| Chain | Main reason to go | CHAGEE comparison |
|---|---|---|
| CHAGEE | Tea-forward milk tea, pure tea, polished mall-store experience | Best for people who care about tea flavor |
| Mixue | Cheap drinks, fruit tea, soft serve, fast expansion | Mixue wins on price; CHAGEE wins on tea quality |
| Gong Cha | Familiar milk tea, toppings, foam, broad chain menu | Gong Cha has more toppings; CHAGEE feels more minimal |
| Kung Fu Tea | Wide US menu and easy customization | Kung Fu Tea is easier for groups; CHAGEE is more focused |
| Heytea | Fruit tea, cheese foam, premium Chinese chain feel | Heytea is more playful; CHAGEE is more traditional-tea coded |
If you want a boba drink mainly for pearls, pudding, jelly, or brown sugar syrup, CHAGEE probably should not be your first stop. If you want to taste the tea through the milk, it is worth trying once.
Is CHAGEE expensive?
CHAGEE is usually priced like a premium chain, not a budget boba stop. Expect the final US price to depend on store, size, add-ons, tax, and delivery markup. The better question is whether you will notice the difference. People who order light-sugar tea lattes are more likely to get value from CHAGEE than people who cover every drink with toppings.
Delivery can also change the value. A tea latte that tastes clean in store may cost much more through delivery apps after fees. If you are near a listed store, pickup is usually the better first try.
Does CHAGEE have calories and nutrition info?
CHAGEE has made nutrition transparency part of its brand globally. Its media center says the company released “product ID card” style calorie and nutrient information for several products in China. The US site does not expose full nutrition tables in the simple static menu pages I checked, so US shoppers should treat exact calories as store- or app-specific until CHAGEE publishes a US nutrition PDF or in-store nutrition board.
For now, assume milk tea and tea lattes contain calories from milk and sugar, while pure brewed tea and some citrus teas are lighter. Ask in store if you need a calorie, caffeine, or dairy answer before ordering.
Is CHAGEE boba?
CHAGEE is a modern tea and milk tea chain, and many US searchers will call it boba because it sells tea drinks in the same category. Strictly, it is less boba-focused than a normal bubble tea shop. The menu is about tea bases, tea lattes, and refreshers first; toppings are secondary.
That distinction helps explain why some people love it and some people leave underwhelmed. CHAGEE is not trying to be the wildest toppings shop in the mall. It is trying to be the tea-forward chain.
Is CHAGEE worth trying?
Try CHAGEE if there is one near you and you enjoy jasmine tea, oolong, black tea, matcha-style cafes, or lighter milk tea. Start with BOYA Tea Latte, Amber Oolong Tea Latte, or a pure tea. Keep the sweetness moderate.
Skip it, or at least lower expectations, if your ideal boba order is mostly pearls, syrup, pudding, and cream foam. You may still like CHAGEE Daydream, but the main menu is not built around that style.
What is the best CHAGEE drink?
BOYA Tea Latte is the safest first CHAGEE drink because it is the brand’s jasmine green milk tea and is presented on the US menu as the iconic global bestseller. Amber Oolong Tea Latte is better if you prefer roasted, nutty tea. Jasmine Green Pure Tea or Peach Oolong Pure Tea is better if you want no milk.
Where is CHAGEE in the US?
CHAGEE’s official US location page currently lists California stores and openings, including Westfield Century City in Los Angeles, Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, Americana in Glendale, Ontario, Mission Viejo, Long Beach, Culver City, Fashion Square in the San Fernando Valley, Brea Mall, and UTC La Jolla marked as coming soon on June 24.
What does CHAGEE mean?
CHAGEE is the English brand name for 霸王茶姬. The Chinese name references traditional Chinese opera and tea culture. In practice, US customers mainly encounter it as a premium Chinese tea chain with white-and-gold branding, tea lattes, pure teas, and citrus refreshers.
Bottom line
CHAGEE is worth knowing because it is bringing a large Chinese premium tea format into US malls and city shopping districts. The opportunity is simple: order it like tea, not like a toppings dessert. Start with BOYA Tea Latte or Amber Oolong Tea Latte, check the nearest California store, and decide whether the tea flavor justifies the premium.
