About Cintia's Chai Corner

Bringing authentic Chinese bubble tea culture to Europe with passion and tradition

Our Story

Our Story

Founded in 2023 by Cintia Hu and Charles Chen, Cintia's Chai Corner was born from a shared passion for authentic Chinese tea culture and a vision to introduce Europe to the vibrant world of bubble tea.

Having grown up in China surrounded by traditional tea ceremonies and modern bubble tea innovations, Cintia and Charles noticed a gap in the European market for authentic, high-quality bubble tea that stays true to its Chinese roots while appealing to European tastes.

What started as a small pop-up shop in Paris has now grown into multiple locations across Europe, each maintaining the same commitment to quality, authenticity, and cultural exchange that inspired the original concept.
