Taste, after all, has a memory that outlasts time. The flavors a person embraces before the age of seven become a lifelong imprint—they become the taste of home. If you possess a refined palate today, it is because your taste buds were treated with utmost care and respect during your childhood.

It was out of this deep respect for flavor and the purity of ingredients that we made a quiet yet firm promise to ourselves on day one: focusing entirely on honoring this one philosophy would be more than enough.

A decade has passed since then. Ten years is the journey of a child growing into adulthood. Today, TEAMATE has evolved into a multicultural, international team. Though we come from different corners of the globe, we work side by side with the same shared passion, watching many of our local guests grow up with our drinks in hand. What we strive to offer them in return is an honesty that truly stands the test of time.

This is why every single beverage is tailored to our guests’ preferences and prepared fresh on-site. The foundation of our iced teas relies exclusively on 100% natural, German-made juice concentrates, with colors derived solely from natural food plant extracts. Because tasting begins with the eyes, we care profoundly about visual authenticity—apple juice, for instance, should naturally embrace its deep crimson hue (even though apples come in other colors as well).

Our core tea leaves are sourced directly from Taiwan and premium estates around the world, entirely free from synthetic aromas; our Matcha is Uji Matcha from Japan; our Hibiscus Iced Tea is patiently brewed from actual flower petals; and our authentic Real Taro Milk Tea is crafted from real taro, slow-mashed into a velvety purée.

“The real taste” is both our promise and our daily compass. We simply want to share these genuine, trustworthy flavors we love with every guest who walks through our doors.
