About CHAGEE
Connecting the world with modern tea.
We celebrate a rich global tea heritage, while constantly innovating to create the perfect tea drinks to enjoy in cozy, modern spaces.
Our beginnings.
Tea's heritage risks being forgotten every day. So a team of tea lovers from Yunnan, the hometown of tea, set out to reintroduce tea culture to the world, with a modern twist.
A reason to gather.
A cup of CHAGEE is the backdrop to shared moments: friends catching up, families coming together, colleagues taking a break from busy days.
Our modern teahouse is a comfortable, relaxing space for you and your community to gather over a delicious cup of tea. That's what CommuniTEA is built on.

霸王茶姬
The face on the cup.
Our Chinese name, 霸王茶姬, comes from the Peking opera Farewell My Concubine. The face on every cup is its heroine, drawn as an opera huadan. CHAGEE comes from 茶姬, tea and heroine together.
