Chatime Canada, the largest and fastest growing bubble tea franchise, is proud to announce its exclusive partnership with FreeNow, a trusted brand among top bubble tea and coffee chains in China, to introduce Coconut Milk Gold Edition, a premium lactose-free option.
This new offering will be available as a permanent menu item at all Chatime locations in Ontario and British Columbia. As part of this launch, Chatime will debut four new handcrafted lactose-free winter features, each made with Coconut Milk Gold Edition and customizable to be served hot or cold. The new lineup includes Matcha Coconut Latte, Brown Sugar Pearl Coconut Latte, Jasmine Jade Coconut Milk Tea and Golden Aged Coconut Milk Tea.
“At Chatime, we are always looking for ways to enhance our menu and offer our customers more choices,” says Kenton Chan, Founder and Group CEO of Kevito Group, Chatime’s parent company. “With the introduction of Coconut Milk Gold, we’re providing a premium lactose-free alternative that complements our high quality teas, catering to those who may be lactose-intolerant and looking for a rich and creamy option.”
As demand for lactose-free options continues to rise in Canada, Chatime remains dedicated to innovation and quality by offering premium alternatives that elevate the bubble tea experience. Coconut milk, naturally free of lactose, is not only a deliciously creamy choice but also rich in essential nutrients and healthy fats, making it a popular option for those seeking digestive-friendly beverages.
Through this partnership with FreeNow, Chatime Canada is bringing a globally recognized, high-quality coconut milk to its menu, setting a new addition for lactose-free tea option in their menu. This marks another step in Chatime’s dedication to expanding lactose-free choices and creating inclusive options that align with evolving customer needs. “This partnership allows us to provide a higher-quality alternative that has been loved across the world, and now we’re bringing it to our stores in Canada,” adds Chan.
This launch also reinforces Chatime’s commitment to customization, allowing customers to substitute Coconut Milk Gold Edition in place of regular creamer for a creamy, silky coconut taste, while still maintaining being lactose-free. In addition to being a refreshing iced beverage option, the coconut milk’s smooth and velvety texture makes it a perfect lactose-free option for hot drinks, offering a warm and cozy experience during the long, cold winter months.
