TAIPEI, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Founded in Taiwan in 2006, Presotea has grown from a local tea beverage brand into an international franchise network with more than 400 locations across Taiwan and overseas markets. Its success in bringing Taiwanese tea culture to consumers around the world has earned the brand recognition at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards 2026 Taiwan Chapter, organized by Enterprise Asia. Built on an integrated supply chain spanning tea sourcing, product development, standardized store operations, and franchise support, Presotea combines Taiwanese tea expertise with modern brewing technology to create a contemporary tea experience that can be consistently delivered across markets.

At the heart of Presotea's identity is its espresso-style tea-brewing system, which prepares each beverage to order from an individual tea bag using a short, high-pressure extraction process. The approach reduces the need for bulk brewing while limiting waste and oxidation, allowing stores to maintain a streamlined operating process and consumers to enjoy freshly extracted tea. Its beverage portfolio spans pure teas, milk teas, fruit teas, and seasonal creations, supported by traceable ingredients, food-safety controls, water filtration, and product testing.

Presotea's growth has also been shaped by its ability to translate Taiwanese tea culture across international markets. Its journey began with the opening of its first overseas store in Perth, Australia, before expanding into Canada, the United States, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Jordan, Dubai, and other markets. Regional flagship stores and local franchise partnerships have helped introduce Taiwanese tea to diverse consumer communities while maintaining consistent brand standards.

Behind this expansion is an integrated support system covering site selection, store planning, equipment, training, menu development, marketing, and operational guidance. A dedicated research and development team continues to create differentiated products, while responsible sourcing initiatives include the use of Rainforest Alliance Certified teas in selected products.

By combining traditional tea knowledge with practical innovation and a scalable operating model, Presotea has created a recognizable Taiwanese tea brand with an international presence. Its continued expansion demonstrates how local tea heritage can be adapted for modern consumers without losing its authentic identity.
