A Journey of
Growth and Innovation
2009
Chatime's Australian Debut
In 2009, Chatime embarked on its Australian adventure, bringing a fresh twist to the tea-drinking culture down under. This marked the beginning of a flavourful journey, introducing Australians to a unique and innovative tea experience. Since then, Chatime has become synonymous with quality bubble tea, setting a new standard in the beverage industry and steadily growing into a beloved brand across the nation.
2018
A Century of Stores
In 2018, Chatime celebrated a major milestone in its Australian story by opening its 100th outlet. This landmark achievement showcased not just exponential growth but also the brand’s increasing appeal across diverse Australian communities. Chatime’s journey from its first store to the 100th reflects a strategic expansion, innovative product offerings, and an evolving consumer base. This milestone symbolises Chatime’s successful fusion of traditional Asian tea culture with the vibrant and varied tastes of Australia, marking its place as a leader in the quick-service beverage industry.
2018
Launch of Loyal-Tea
In September 2018, Chatime Australia stepped into a new era of customer appreciation with the introduction of the ‘Loyal-Tea’ programme. This initiative was brewed to reward our tea enthusiasts with a generous 50% discount on their first purchase, earn points with every sip, and unlock exclusive offers. The loyalty programme was a toast to our patrons, enhancing their experience with personalised perks and cementing Chatime’s reputation as a brand that values its community.
2022
Chatime's 150th T-brewery Opening
Chatime’s journey of growth and innovation reached another high point with the opening of its 150th T-brewery in Mildura. This milestone, achieved on 4 September 2022, represents more than just a number; it symbolises the brand’s unwavering commitment to bringing quality tea experiences to every corner of Australia. Emphasising regional investment, this achievement underlines Chatime’s dedication to making its beloved beverages accessible to a wider audience, thereby deepening its roots in the Australian market.
