Serenitea on Their !5-Year Legacy, Being the Well-loved Local Milk Tea Brand



Whenever I pass by any Serenitea branch, one thing is always apparent, happy milk tea customers.  It has been undeniable that milk teas have become not just a trend (as I used to think back when it was starting to crawl the foodie market), but a joy-bringer.

I'm sure there would be those who would argue whether it is healthy or not, but the fact that the major ingredient is of course tea, it has healing or healthy benefits connected to it.  And I can say that all those years, there is one that really stood out in the game, Serenitea!  

Reaching their 15th year is more than a testament enough that they know how to please their customers, with their wide array of flavors (either with fruit teas or milk teas).  No wonder many brands have collaborated with them on amazing projects, they have really won the hearts of OG milk tea lovers, and have made many converts like ME!

As Serenitea celebrates its 15th year anniversary, they gathered some prime social media movers to witness the launch of their 2023 Maligayang Festivi-teas Holiday Drinks, in partnership with Pan De Manila, as well as announcing its eagerly-awaited Jumbo Cup promo dates and mechanics.

I love that Serenitea being a proudly home-grown Filipino tea-shop brand, honors its roots with a
