They are a tea specialty store company and propose to sell and wholesale tea leaves. Originally, there was a tea specialty store "TEA・MODE" in this location, but after thinking about how to make tea more familiar to people, we focused on milk tea, which is familiar to people in their daily lives. After thinking about it, they focused on milk tea, which is a familiar drink in our daily lives. The result of this renewal is McQun Chai, a milk tea specialty store.

As a milk tea proposed by a tea specialty store, you can enjoy milk tea that is particular about tea leaves. The store also sells tea leaves, and there are many types of tea leaves in the lineup!

This is McQun Chai's recommended "Original Milk Tea (from 490 yen). Luxury tea leaves carefully selected from around the world are luxuriously blended for milk tea.

“We were very particular about the blend of tea leaves that go well with milk tea. It took us a year to develop it through repeated trial and error, while thinking about the type of milk as well as the tea leaves,” said the person in charge.

The taste they would like to describe is the richness of the tea and the mildness of the milk. It has a clean and refreshing taste that leaves no aftertaste. They have developed a unique original milk tea that has never existed before! It is now a signature item on the store's menu and is popular among women and men of all ages.

Milk tea has the impression of being sweet, but McQun Chai's original milk tea is offered without sugar so that customers can enjoy the richness of black tea. Also, in summer, ice is not added, so you can fully enjoy the original taste of milk tea until the last sip.
