CoCo is a tea and juice store concept that originated in Taiwan. It expanded into the Greater China market in 1997 and became the biggest fresh-drinks brand in China. CoCo also has stores in New York and Hongkong, and is continuously expanding to Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Los Angeles, Singapore, south Africa, and now, in the Philippines as well. Coco Tea recently opened it’s first branch in the Philippines at Eastwood.

Chris Everingham says”Strong is the new sexy”
I got to sample a few of them, including the one pictured below, while listening to pro rugby player Chris Everingham give a talk about fitness and wellness. The fruit teas are very refreshing and I recommend the 2 Ladies drink (Php 85). It’s got pearls and a very smooth and creamy pudding.

If anyone would like to try the drinks, the Coco fresh Tea & Juice store in Eastwood is located at the 2/f of the Eastwood Mall’s Supermarket and Wellnes wing beside Robinson’s Supermarket.
