Just in time for Manila’s most unforgiving heat, a new lineup of fruit-forward iced teas has arrived to make summer sipping a little brighter. Think crisp citrus, fragrant tea bases, and drinks that feel lighter than your usual milk tea order. Even better, the lineup leans into real fruit flavors and carefully brewed tea, which means every cup is refreshing without feeling overly heavy. Here are five things we’re currently loving from this latest release.
1. A Lemon Tea That Feels Like a Summer Reset
There’s something instantly refreshing about lemon tea, especially when temperatures start climbing. This new series reimagines the familiar iced lemon drink by pairing citrus with carefully brewed tea bases instead of relying purely on sweetness. The result is a drink that feels crisp and bright rather than syrupy. It’s a classic tag-init refresher, but elevated through CHAGEE’s approach to brewing and flavor balance.
2. Jasmine and Lemon Is a Surprisingly Perfect Pair
Floral tea and citrus might sound delicate, but together they create one of the most refreshing combinations in the lineup. The Jasmine Lemon Tea blends fragrant jasmine green tea with fresh lemon notes, giving the drink a light floral aroma followed by a clean citrus finish. It’s the kind of tea that tastes just as good on a humid afternoon as it does after a long day out in the sun.
3. A Bold Brew for Those Who Want More Flavor
Not every summer drink has to be light and breezy. One standout option pairs roasted Da Hong Pao tea with lemon, creating a deeper, more aromatic iced tea. The roasted notes of the tea bring a slight richness that balances the citrus bite, giving the drink more character than the usual lemon iced tea. It’s a nice reminder that fruit teas can still feel complex and full-bodied.
