TP Tea (short for Taiwan Professional Tea, Chinese: 茶湯會; pinyin: Chátānghuì), formerly known as Tea Pa Tea, is a subsidiary of Chun Shui Tang, which is known for the inventor of Bubble milk tea. Similar to most bubble tea shops in Taiwan, TP Tea only sells bubble tea, though snacks are sold occasionally for a limited time.

History

The chain was founded in 2005, and has since spread to China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, the United States[1], and Canada.[2] The first TP Tea shop in Hong Kong was opened in 2016, which is located in Tin Hau.[3] The brand began operating in Singapore in 2018.[4] The first U.S. shop opened in Cupertino, California,[5] in 2018.[6] The business has also operated in Seattle's Chinatown–International District.[7][8]
