Taiwan’s hand-shaken tea drinks are everywhere, with a rich diversity of unique beverages. In this highly competitive market, one hand-shaken tea shop has not only succeeded in Taiwan but also become extremely popular in places like Japan and Korea. Since its founding in 2006, Gong Cha has maintained high standards for selecting tea and tea drink ingredients, aiming to "offer tribute tea worthy of the imperial court." The brand has actively expanded into overseas markets. Today, Gong Cha can be seen around the world and has been voted the most popular tea beverage brand in Korea. It even enlisted popular Korean actor Lee Jong-suk as a brand ambassador for an advertisement campaign—its popularity is undeniable.
