Not just Bubble Tea, 貢茶 Gong Cha offers a variety of Tea, Coffee, and Juices; in fact the shop's signature is not Bubble Tea but "鮮牛奶泡沫茶 Freshly brewed tea topped with a generous, creamy layer of fresh milk foam"! 
With more than 1,500 stores worldwide, "貢茶 Gong Cha" is one of the fastest growing International Taiwanese Bubble Tea chain brand which started in 2006 in 台灣高雄 Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The 台灣特許經營 Taiwanese Franchise business "貢茶 Gong Cha" open its first shop in Malaysia in 2011, but it is 日出茶太 ChaTime that opened its first outlet in 2010 in Kuala Lumpur, paving the way for other brands to enter the market, and started the Craze for this 台灣的“手搖飲料文化” Taiwanese Boba tea culture! There used to be maybe over 20+ bubble tea joints in SS15 but because of the 新冠疫情 Covid-19 virus and the lockdowns, those bubble tea stores are now beginning to go out of business with Multiple banners seeking for rental over the few bubble tea outlets.
