Brand Origin
Hand-shaken beverages have become an important part of Taiwan’s food culture, and Mr. Cheng-Mo Lai, the founder of LIKE TEA SHOP, is a pioneer of this trend. His deep passion for black tea and innovative drink flavours have brought a new black tea experience, offering surprising and unique delights. Since the 1980s, LIKE TEA SHOP has won widespread admiration in Taiwan and has gradually become a representative brand in Taichung.
To preserve the best flavours of the first generation and allow more consumers to enjoy local Taiwanese tea drinks, the third generation of LIKE TEA SHOP established a complete franchise system in 2019. The unique taste and consistent quality have earned market acclaim. Currently, LIKE TEA SHOP has nearly 110 franchise stores across Taiwan, undeniably setting a new trend in Taiwan’s cup drink industry. The headquarters team has continuously worked hard, focusing on brand marketing and drink innovation, injecting a modern image into traditional beverages.
Classic Drinks
LIKE TEA SHOP is renowned for its classic black tea, made from tea leaves sourced from Taiwan’s well-known tea-growing region – Nantou County. The tea’s rich flavour and aromatic profile, combined with a special brewing method, result in a warm amber colour. Each sip reveals the fragrance spreading across the palate, offering a refreshing and non-bitter experience—a classic tea that lingers on the taste buds.
One of the most popular beverages in the store is the black tea soy milk. This drink showcases the rich aroma of black tea combined with the creamy texture of soy milk, delivering a unique and satisfying beverage experience with a delightful blend of tea and soy flavours.
We are dedicated to drinking innovation, continuously exploring and discovering new flavours, while adhering to strict quality standards to ensure each cup delivers the best taste and quality. Our commitment to innovation and quality keeps our beverages at the forefront of trends while maintaining excellence.
