In recent times, amid intense competition in the food & beverage and lifestyle goods markets, some outlets have reportedly seen less than ideal sales performance. Nevertheless, they continue to offer black tea and handmade lifestyle goods experience workshops, allowing consumers who love Japanese-style living and Afternoon Tea to cultivate their personal aesthetic in different ways.
Taking into account market conditions and operational considerations, the Japanese side has decided not to renew the contract. The current cooperation agreement is set to expire at the end of July. As partnership contracts with different department stores vary in duration, individual stores will gradually close their doors across Taiwan by the end of 2018. The exact closing dates for all 15 stores nationwide will be announced separately by Uni Afternoon Tea.
