What if a trip to the museum could begin with your afternoon tea?
Chagee Philippines is blurring the line between art and everyday rituals with the launch of its limited-edition Apple English Breakfast Milk Tea, proving that great art isn't just something to admire on gallery walls but it can also be experienced one sip at a time.
Available beginning 3 July, the new drink is part of the brand's partnership with Tate, one of the United Kingdom's most celebrated art institutions. The partnership transforms three iconic still-life paintings from Tate's collection into collectible merchandise, making every tea run feel like a visit to an art exhibit.
At the heart of the partnership is the humble apple, a fruit that has inspired artists for centuries and now serves as the centerpiece of Chagee's newest tea creation.
The Apple English Breakfast Milk Tea combines a carefully layered blend of five premium teas sourced across Asia with cold-extracted Red Fuji apples from Shandong, China. The result is a fragrant drink that balances the familiar richness of English breakfast tea with crisp, naturally sweet apple notes.
Beyond the drink itself, the collection celebrates how ordinary objects can become extraordinary through art.
Featured on limited-edition cups, insulated carrier bags, and collectible merchandise are three beloved still-life paintings from Tate's collection: A Plate of Apples by Henri Fantin-Latour, Still Life with Water Jug by Paul Cézanne and The Basket of Fruit by Mark Gertler.
Each artist interpreted the same familiar subject in remarkably different ways, from quiet realism to bold experimentation. Now, those masterpieces leave the gallery and become part of an everyday coffee or tea run.
Through its year-long partnership with Tate, Chagee is supporting the museum's paper and photography conservation efforts, helping preserve artworks so future generations can continue to experience them.
Art doesn't always have to be confined within museum walls. Sometimes, it can be held in your hands, shared with friends, and enjoyed one sip at a time.
Apple English Breakfast Milk Tea will be available starting 3 July at Chagee stores nationwide and through the app.
