SHANGHAI, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 8, 2026, CHAGEE released its 2025 Year-End Tea Friends Review. The Review outlines the company's growth over the past year, with its store network now operating in eight countries across two continents. Annual tea sourcing volume surpassed 10,000 tons, covering six major tea categories as well as key Pu'er-producing regions, supported by partnerships with more than 100 tea factories.

The 2025 Year-End Tea Friends Review shows that CHAGEE's store network currently operates in China, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and the United States. In April, CHAGEE completed its public listing on the NASDAQ exchange (Ticker: CHA), becoming the first freshly made tea beverage brand from China to list on a U.S. stock exchange and one of the largest food and beverage IPOs globally since 2022, according to publicly available market data.

Overseas growth has supported the expansion of CHAGEE's customer base. According to the Report, membership in Asia-Pacific overseas markets rose 177% year-on-year in 2025, with 61% of members under the age of 30. Member counts in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines increased by approximately 4-fold, 5.4-fold, 20-fold, and 11-fold, respectively. Online engagement related to CHAGEE across international social platforms increased by approximately 250% compared with the prior year. Terms like "tea", "tea culture", and "tea-inspired lifestyle" have become popular among young local consumers, positioning tea as a shared point of cultural interest among younger audiences across markets.

BO•YA JASMINE GREEN MILK TEA Gains Worldwide Popularity

As CHAGEE's global presence grows, BO•YA Jasmine Green Milk Tea continued to gain recognition across international markets. Data from Frost & Sullivan shows that sales of the beverage surpassed 1.25 billion cups between January 2022 and June 2025. The Review indicates BO•YA Jasmine Green Milk Tea ranks among the top-selling products in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand. Preferences vary by region—for instance, consumers in Malaysia and Singapore show greater interest in Peach Oolong Milk Tea—reflecting the company's strategy of tailoring offerings to local preferences as international operations expand.

In the past year, more than 30 million customers placed single orders for two or more cups of BO•YA Jasmine Green Milk Tea, highlighting shared consumption occasions. Group orders rose notably, with orders exceeding 20 cups increasing by more than 15% and orders over 100 cups rising by more than 40% year-on-year.During the Spring Festival holiday, orders of 50–100 cups surged by as much as 259% year-on-year.

In 2025, BO•YA Jasmine Green Milk Tea received the Best Natural/Organic Beverage award at the World Beverage Innovation Awards. CHAGEE was also recognized in the Best Processing/Production Innovation category and named a finalist for several additional international innovation awards.

Annual Tea Sourcing Holds at 10,000 Tons; Modern Tea Approach Supports Supply Chain Development

Within the tea industry, CHAGEE continues to deepen partnerships with upstream producers. In 2025, the company's annual tea sourcing remained at approximately the 10,000-ton scale, with partnerships extending to more than 100 tea factories.

Product innovation further links industry capabilities with consumer preferences. Last year, CHAGEE introduced over 20 new products. Within the Fresh Milk Tea series, more than 50% of new releases featured floral or fruit elements. By applying its Fresh Brew technology system, CHAGEE has integrated contemporary extraction techniques into freshly made tea beverage preparation, bringing new flavor expressions to traditional tea leaves.

In 2025, CHAGEE also completed over 10 craftsmanship and process innovation initiatives in collaboration with tea gardens, factories, and research institutions.

The 2025 Year-End Tea Friends Review further notes that CHAGEE now operates more than 25 pet-friendly stores, has supported the construction of 23 children's playgrounds this year, opened 14 deaf-inclusive silent stores, added 219 new 24-hour locations, and opened new stores at an average rate of one every 1.7 days. Approximately 1340 stores joined CHAGEE's Night Clean Project, supporting 18,000 store partners complete end-of-day operations on schedule.

"Making Friends Through Tea" is more than a tagline—it reflects CHAGEE's ongoing approach of building lasting, respectful connections centered on shared tea experiences. Each day, CHAGEE brings people together through a cup of tea.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Produced by iQIYI, the historical epic series "The Unseen Qin Empire" was officially announced on January 9. The series brings together director Lü Xing, known for "Burning Ice", and screenwriter Chang Jiang of "The Advisors Alliance", and stars Chen Xiao, Zhang Xincheng, Dai Luwa, Dai Xu and Xu Hao, with special appearances by Wang Jinsong and Chen Shu. With film-level production values, the drama uncovers the thrilling, lesser-known stories behind the unification of the six states under China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang (personal name Ying Zheng). This is not treated as a sealed-off chapter of the past, but as an intense, character-driven retelling engraved in history, and a focused exploration of Eastern classical aesthetics.

The poster presents a newly designed, meticulously researched image of a Qin Dynasty grand hall, highlighting a creative distillation and reimagining of "Qin-era aesthetics" in all their grandeur, order and sharp intensity. Abandoning the lavish, colorful look typical of traditional historical dramas, it adopts a minimalist black-and-gold palette and rigorous architectural composition, aiming to make every architectural line, contrast of light and shadow and ornamental pattern a vehicle for conveying the spirit of that era. It seeks to deliver to global audiences a visual language of "order, power and systems", translating Eastern historical perspectives into a visual narrative that can be broadly understood, and reflecting a confident, outward-looking cultural dialogue.

"The Unseen Qin Empire" is expected to premiere in late 2026. The release of this international poster is not only the drama's first public appearance, but also a clear statement that Chinese historical dramas are moving with confidence toward the center of the global stage with a new aesthetic language, deeper thematic ambition and industrial-level production standards, inviting audiences worldwide to explore enduring Qin-era questions of order and civilization.
