Just in time for Manila’s most unforgiving heat, a new lineup of fruit-forward iced teas has arrived to make summer sipping a little brighter. Think crisp citrus, fragrant tea bases, and drinks that feel lighter than your usual milk tea order. Even better, the lineup leans into real fruit flavors and carefully brewed tea, which means every cup is refreshing without feeling overly heavy. Here are five things we’re currently loving from this latest release.

1. A Lemon Tea That Feels Like a Summer Reset

There’s something instantly refreshing about lemon tea, especially when temperatures start climbing. This new series reimagines the familiar iced lemon drink by pairing citrus with carefully brewed tea bases instead of relying purely on sweetness. The result is a drink that feels crisp and bright rather than syrupy. It’s a classic tag-init refresher, but elevated through CHAGEE’s approach to brewing and flavor balance.

2. Jasmine and Lemon Is a Surprisingly Perfect Pair

Floral tea and citrus might sound delicate, but together they create one of the most refreshing combinations in the lineup. The Jasmine Lemon Tea blends fragrant jasmine green tea with fresh lemon notes, giving the drink a light floral aroma followed by a clean citrus finish. It’s the kind of tea that tastes just as good on a humid afternoon as it does after a long day out in the sun.

3. A Bold Brew for Those Who Want More Flavor

Not every summer drink has to be light and breezy. One standout option pairs roasted Da Hong Pao tea with lemon, creating a deeper, more aromatic iced tea. The roasted notes of the tea bring a slight richness that balances the citrus bite, giving the drink more character than the usual lemon iced tea. It’s a nice reminder that fruit teas can still feel complex and full-bodied.

4. A Subtle Rice Aroma That Makes This Tea Unique

One of the most interesting drinks in the series combines lemon with green tea infused with the aroma of glutinous rice. The effect is subtle but distinctive. The tea carries a soft toasted fragrance that sits underneath the citrus notes, giving the drink a comforting warmth despite being served cold. It’s the kind of flavor combination that feels unexpected but oddly addictive.

5. Summer Merch That’s Actually Cute

Beyond the drinks themselves, the launch also comes with limited seasonal merchandise that taps into the playful side of summer. Think reversible bucket hats, drawstring pouches, and a small lemon leather charm designed to clip onto bags or keys. It’s a clever way for CHAGEE to extend the summer theme beyond the cup, especially for fans who love a collectible moment with their drinks.

Between real fruit flavors, thoughtfully brewed teas, and a lineup that feels lighter than the usual milk tea rotation, this summer release offers something refreshing for almost every kind of tea drinker. Whether you lean toward bright citrus, floral notes, or deeper roasted flavors, the new fruit tea series from CHAGEE feels perfectly timed for long, hot Manila afternoons. If this is how summer starts, we’re more than happy to sip our way through it.
