CHAGEE Turns Nine With a Kebaya-Clad Elephant and Mango Tea
If your usual CHAGEE order is the BO·YA Jasmine Green, there is a mango version of it on the menu now, and if you happen to buy one between 15 and 17 November, your cup comes with a prize inside. Both are part of the tea brand's ninth anniversary, which it is celebrating in every market at once for the first time, under the theme "One World. One CHAGEE."
Quick facts
- New drink: BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green, as a Milk Tea or a Brewed Tea, available since 6 November for the anniversary campaign
- Tear & Win: 15 to 17 November 2026, at participating CHAGEE stores nationwide, limited cups each day
- The birthday: 17 November 2026, nine years since the first store opened in Yunnan in 2017
Meet Teadore, in a kebaya
The anniversary mascot is Teadore, a green elephant with leaf-shaped ears and CHAGEE's "C" on its cup. The elephant is a nod to the Ancient Tea Horse Road, where elephants helped carry tea across difficult terrain. Each market dresses Teadore in something local, and the Malaysian version wears a kebaya covered in Bunga Raya, the national flower.
CHAGEE says limited-edition Teadore collectibles and anniversary merchandise will be available during the campaign. Its press kit shows a Malaysia-exclusive Teadore plush charm and keychain, a fridge magnet blind box, a tote it calls the Everyday Carryall, a wrist cushion and a screen cleaner pack. The brand has not said how each piece is sold or what it costs, so ask at the counter before you plan your order around one.
What the mango tea tastes like
BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green starts from the same four Yunnan jasmine teas as the original. The leaves are infused with puree from Small Tainong mangoes grown in Hainan, then dried at low temperature to hold on to both aromas, and freeze-dried mango pieces go in on top. CHAGEE describes it as a burst of ripe mango first, then jasmine, with a floral, fruity finish.
CHAGEE has had halal-certified outlets in Malaysia since 2023, and says every new menu item here goes through JAKIM's halal application process. If halal status at a particular cafe matters to you, it is worth checking, as it was with TOUS les JOURS at Sunway Pyramid.
How Tear & Win works
From 15 to 17 November, buy at least one BO·YA Mango Jasmine Green Milk Tea, BO·YA Jasmine Green Milk Tea, White Peach Oolong Milk Tea or Da Hong Pao Milk Tea at a participating store and you get a Tear & Win cup. Every cup has a reward inside, from discount vouchers to exclusive prizes, but the cups are limited each day, so earlier in the day is the safer bet.
"This anniversary feels especially meaningful as, for the first time, we are celebrating together as one global brand," said Eason Fang, General Manager of CHAGEE Malaysia. CHAGEE opened its first Malaysian store in 2019 and now counts more than 7,600 stores worldwide. For another cafe that dressed its menu up for a local moment, see how Luckin Coffee marked Merdeka.
