China's bubble tea boom brews rural growth, international presence
Photo taken on July 15, 2025 shows a shop of CHAGEE, a Chinese bubble tea brand, in Jakarta, Indonesia. – Xinhua photo HANGZHOU (Aug 8): Although the traditional spring harvest season is now over, in the humming workshop of a tea company in the city of Shengzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, the aroma of fresh leaves still lingers in the air, while workers operate machines in churning out batches of vibrant green tea. More than 4,000 km away, Latifahtul Khoiriyah in Jakarta, Indonesia, took a taxi during her lunch break on a sweltering summer's day, making this trip especially to try out the bubble tea of Chinese brand CHAGEE. This white collar worker in the finance sector learned about CHAGEE on social media like TikTok and Instagram. 'It tastes good,' she said, adding that compared with some other bubble brands, CHAGEE is less sweet, while its packages are of better design. 'Jasmine has a light and rich floral flavor which is extremely refreshing, while the Oolong tea has a deeper aftertaste of roasted cream,' said another customer named Raditya. 'It is evident that high-quality tea is used in CHAGEE.' Featuring diverse flavors, achieved by combining ingredients such as fresh fruits, tea leaves, milk and cheese, China's new-style tea beverage has expanded its market rapidly in recent years, capturing the hearts of customers across China and also overseas. Data released by iiMedia Research shows that in 2024, China's new-style tea beverage market value exceeded 350 billion yuan (about US$48.5 billion) – up 6.4 per cent from a year earlier, while the market value is expected to reach 374.93 billion yuan by the end of 2025. Fragrance spreading overseas A report by Nanfang Metropolis Daily suggested that Chinese new-style tea beverage brands began opening outlets overseas in the 2010s at an accelerating pace. According to the National Business Daily, by the end of last year, Chinese new-style tea beverage brands had opened more than 5,000 outlets overseas. While various Chinese bubble brands could be seen in many Western cities such as London and Sydney, Southeast Asia emerged as one of their major markets. HEYTEA, which boasts over 4,000 stores worldwide, launched its first overseas store in Singapore in 2018. Naixue opened its first overseas flagship outlet last year in Bangkok's well-known shopping center Central World, sparking a frenzy among young consumers. On April 11 this year, CHAGEE opened three outlets in Jakarta. By July 15, this number had grown to eight. In its PIK Avenue outlet, sales topped 10,000 cups in the first three days of its opening, while the number of membership registrations exceeded 5,000 within one week. Mixue is arguably the most popular Chinese bubble tea brand in Indonesia with more than 2,600 outlets. By the end of 2024, Mixue had created jobs for about 12,800 people in Indonesia. According to Han Wenchao, who is in charge of operations at the Mixue Indonesian branch, they have about 250 staff members – of whom more than 96 per cent are locals.

The new-style tea beverage has become a window for people to learn the traditional Chinese tea culture, he said. According to a report released by the CAAS, 46.9 per cent of young Chinese gain a better understanding of traditional tea during the consumption of new-style tea beverages, and 74.3 per cent expressed willingness to try traditional tea after tasting a new-style tea beverage. The rapid rise of such brands has reshaped the tea supply chain in recent years. China produces about 3 million tonnes of tea leaves each year – involving around 80 million farmers. Soaring demand for raw tea materials has opened up new opportunities for making use of previously underutilised summer and autumn tea resources, Chen said.

'Right now, we're rushing to fulfill base tea orders for several domestic tea beverage brands.' In the first half of 2025, Wafa Tea produced 1,300 tonnes of Longjing raw tea, supporting the development of 30,000 mu of tea gardens and generating over 40 million yuan in sales. Full-year sales are expected to exceed 70 million yuan, according to Xu. 'Longjing tea is one of Zhejiang's most iconic products,' said Lu Debiao, a tea expert at the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. 'The integration of the Longjing brand with the booming new-style tea beverage sector has become a recent highlight, injecting new vitality into the traditional product.' Benefiting rural growth Located in Shengzhou, the largest Longjing tea-producing area in China, Wafa Tea's development is a microcosm of the transformation of China's tea industry. Shengzhou is promoting a 'three-season harvest' strategy across its 210,000 mu of tea gardens. In spring, farmers hand-pick high-end teas, while in summer and autumn, fresh leaves are harvested for targeted supply to new-style beverage makers and export processors. This shift has helped raise annual income by over 3,000 yuan per mu, the local agriculture and rural affairs bureau revealed. In addition to tea leaves, Chinese farmers are also reaping benefits stemming from other agricultural products. Goodme, for example, has set up an avocado base in Menglian County of southwest China's Yunnan Province, where the annual income of local farmers has quadrupled from 12,000 yuan to 48,000. HEYTEA, meanwhile, has purchased matcha from Guizhou Province, also in southwest China, resulting in the scale of the matcha industry in the city of Tongren increasing by 15 fold in the space of three years.

'Last year we sold 7.4 million cups of osmanthus tea, using as much as 97 tonnes of flowers from the city of Xianning,' said Liu Dong, who is in charge of the company's public affairs department. In Sichuan, it has collaborated with the Longgushan tea company, which owns 1,000 mu of fields for the growing of gardenia. 'Our collaboration encouraged local flower-processing enterprises to upgrade their production line, and gave rise to the growth of gardenia output – from 20 tonnes to 300 tonnes a year,' said Li Jialu, general manager of the company. Zhu Hong, a villager from Qianwei County of the city of Leshan, started growing gardenia and jasmine four years ago. 'Qianwei is famed for its flower industry, but my predecessors had never thought to become wealthy by growing flowers,' he said, while adding that his parents had once even tried to persuade him to throw away flower seedlings and change his profession. However, the rise in popularity of new-style beverages boosted the price of gardenia in the county last year, when the market price reached more than 40 yuan per kg on average – amounting to about ten times the price in the past.

This enabled him to buy a new car, while he was also able to contract another 1,000 mu of land – 800 mu for growing gardenia and 200 mu for jasmine. 'Some of my friends even asked me for flower-growing tips,' he told Xinhua. 'We have confidence in the prospect of new-style tea drinks.' – Xinhua

Roundup: U.S. tariffs place "substantial strain" on Switzerland's export-oriented economy
GENEVA, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. tariffs place "a substantial strain" on Switzerland's export-oriented economy, the Swiss government said, vowing to continue negotiations with the U.S. to reduce the 39 percent additional tariffs imposed on the country, which came into force Thursday. The decision was made following the trip of a Swiss delegation to the United States from Tuesday to Wednesday, led by President Karin Keller-Sutter and Vice President Guy Parmelin, the Federal Council said in a statement. The 39 percent tariff rate, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on July 31, was one of the highest globally and also higher than the 31 percent rate threatened by Trump in early April. Nearly 60 percent of Swiss exports to the U.S. are subject to the new tariffs, which are "particularly steep" compared with other U.S. trading partners such as the European Union and Britain, the statement said, adding that it is not considering tariff countermeasures for fear of "additional costs on the economy." According to Swiss customs data, the U.S. has been Switzerland's biggest export market since 2021, with Swiss exports to the United States accounted for 18.6 percent of the country's total exports in 2024. The U.S. also stood as the top market for major Swiss industries including chemicals and pharmaceuticals, watchmaking and precision instruments in 2024. The new tariffs have triggered backlash and concerns across the country. Zurich-based Swissmem, an association for Switzerland's mechanical and electrical engineering (MEM) industries, said on Thursday that the "horror scenario" has become a reality, calling for urgent measures from the government. It noted that if the tariffs remain in place, Swiss tech exports to the U.S. will be brought to a standstill. In an earlier statement, it also said the tariffs will hit the economy hard and endanger tens of thousands of jobs in the country. Meanwhile, other industry organizations have slammed the U.S. tariffs as "dangerous" and "unjustified." Economiesuisse, an umbrella organization for the Swiss business sector, said that there is "neither justification nor any understandable reason" why Switzerland should be subject to one of the highest tariff rates in the world. The tariffs represent a "very serious burden" for Swiss export businesses, it noted. The Swiss government has earlier expressed "great regret" that the U.S. intends to impose unilateral additional tariffs despite the progress made in bilateral talks. It noted that the tariff rate announced by Trump differs "significantly" from the draft joint statement approved by the Swiss authorities on July 4 following talks over the past months.

South Africa optimistic of deal with U.S. as tariff deadline nears
JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Following a recent telephone call between South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and U.S. President Donald Trump, South African Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni on Thursday expressed hope for an agreement between the two countries. "We wouldn't be putting efforts into the negotiations if we were not hopeful that there is room for an agreement. We are working to ensure we strike a deal," Ntshavheni made the remarks at a post-Cabinet briefing in Pretoria, the country's administrative capital, as the deadline for the 30 percent U.S. import tariffs looms. Ntshavheni said the Cabinet had been briefed on the framework deal South Africa submitted to the United States in response to the import tariffs, adding that the phone call to Trump was part of efforts to strengthen the negotiation of the South African team, led by the Department of Trade, Industry, and Competition. "Cabinet affirmed government's commitment to finding constructive and sustainable solutions through continued engagements with the United States, including at a presidential level," Ntshavheni said. She echoed earlier remarks by fellow ministers on plans to diversify South Africa's export markets, emphasizing efforts to boost trade with Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, while further expanding across the African continent.
