Pricing + Promotion

Due to Chi Cha’s quality, their beverage prices are more on the pricey side. Generally, Chi Cha milk tea or fruit tea drinks cost $6 to $7, and their Taro series prices go up to $9. However, prices may be higher or lower depending on factors such as the size of the drink, additional toppings or customizations.

Since the brand is a new addition to the Vancouver scene, promotions or rewards programs have yet to be introduced. Prices remain the same.

My Opinion

Chi Cha has a unique concept, and the rewards it has won are impressive. The drinks themselves are extraordinary, with fresh and strong tea flavours that other places can’t replicate. The one downside about the place is that the drinks are very pricey, and for a small portion, it is hard to justify the price. If you are feeling a bit bougie and want to spend some money, go for it, it’s worth it. Maybe just like for special occasions only.
