A national Taiwanese tea shop is planning its first Virginia location here in Northern Virginia. It’s called Chatime (pronounced cha-time).
Chatime is reportedly headed to 10637 Braddock Road in Fairfax. That’s the current spot where the coffeeshop Gathering Grounds is located.
The brand was first launched in 2003 and now has at least 30 locations open or in the works across the United States.
“We’re here to flip the script on your typical cuppa tea by serving up an expansive array of fresh, flavourful and inventive tea concoctions shaken by our T-Ristas (yep, that’s our fancy name for our tea experts),” the Chatime website reads. “Fun Fact: The word ‘Cha’ means ‘Tea’ in oriental countries, so Chatime means Time for Tea.”
Drinks served at Chatime include various smoothes, milk teas, fruit teas, slushes, and more. You can see the full line-up here.
