KAHATEA: A Milk Tea Every Juan Should Not Miss!

Looking for wholesome, reasonably priced, and uplifting drinks and snacks that are beloved by authentic Filipinos?

The greatest milk tea in Kahatea is shared! Beverages are always bundled so that customers can get two drinks at a reduced cost (Kahatea), which may have various flavors.

Nobody to date since you’re single? Stress less if wala kay Kahatea, bai! For solitary orders, you can savor “extra special” refreshments.

The store developed a way to offer fresh flavors you will undoubtedly adore more than the typical Okinawa, Hokkaido, and Matcha flavored milk teas as the First Fully Filipino-Themed Milk Tea Brand in the nation. It stands out from the competition by employing casein-free, plant-based, and vegan-friendly ingredients in the bulk of its options. Kahatea, the Pambansang Milk Tea, intends for every Juan to try one of its drinks, even those lactose intolerant and animal rights advocates.

Kahatea is a proudly Pinoy brand that started in July 2020 and is the brainchild of two friends and milk tea fans, Angela Valdez and Angelo Horfilla. Having traveled almost the entire Philippines, their love for travel and Pinoy food brought them together in stirring up a unique, homegrown milk tea concept that is sure to stand out in the present competition. It aims to honor our Filipino heritage by promoting local delicacies carefully recreated in their specialty drinks and upholding the use of traditional Filipino design elements in stores.

Leche Flan Milk Tea, Iskrambol Milk Tea, Tsoko Mani Milk Tea, Halo-Halo Milk Tea, Taho Milk Tea Series, and a long list of other unique drinks are just a few milk tea brands that Kahatea offers. This is a response to the proliferation of milk tea brands that are now literally available on every corner of the street. Additionally, Kahatea gave the names of its beverages to the areas in the Philippines where a particular ingredient is well-known or is gaining popularity. For instance, their Ube Halaya Milktea is called “Baguio’’ in honor of the popular pasalubong in the region, Good Shepherd.

Through Kahatea-La Union and Kahatea-Siargao, Kahatea was able to grow outside of Metro Manila in 2021. With its first-ever store in the Visayas and one of the largest franchised stores to date—Kahatea Cebu City—a year later, Kahatea had already conquered the LuzViMin regions. Now, Cebuanos may sample the most popular dairy-free and vegan-friendly beverages. They occasionally fell short of breakeven sales, especially on wet days, which is why “hot versions’’ are introduced on their milk tea and Barako Series (coffee) lines.

A bearing witness to the fact that you don’t need to be an expert to make something a reality necessitates passion, love, and belief in your brand every single day. Inclined with this, Kahatea staff members’ experiences in finance (Angela) and marketing (Angelo) are what pushed them to do better every day. Starting a business demands sacrifice, long hours, and stepping outside the comfort zone. It’s not just for the gram. Although it could appear challenging, your willingness to fail will always determine how well it turns out, and having this firm will require a lot of resilience to face any hurdles, just as their emblem (salakot).

Moreover, Kahatea received a lot of inquiries about franchising due to its distinctive concept and products. After operating for two years, Kahatea was able to expand to 16 outlets. Even while starting a franchise can be exciting and satisfying, especially for a start-up company, it takes a lot of time, work, and systems to ensure that the franchisees share in the success. Kahatea collaborated with FRANCORP, a global franchise consulting company responsible for the growth of today’s major businesses. Anyone may now open their own Kahatea store for P200,000 all-in and franchise the First Fully Filipino-Themed Milk Tea Brand in the nation, now in its second year. Both the Kahatea PH Facebook Page and franchisekahateaph@gmail.com can be used to contact Kahatea if you are interested in learning more about franchise opportunities.

What are you waiting for, mga bai? This is a gist and a sign that one of the best milk teas in the Philippines is something you shouldn’t miss!

Visit them right away with your Kahatea and savor each sip with affection. Di mabalaka kung single ka, agdaha dayon si crush because this is your chance. In KAHATEA, you radiate Positivi-TEA!
