Chaji was a new Chinese tea brand that was born in Yunnan in 2017. The brand insisted on using good tea and milk to make health-friendly tea drinks, providing tea lovers with refreshing, non-greasy, and tea-flavored raw leaf fresh milk tea. The Overlord Tea Concubine had 2700 acres of Oolong Tea Garden and fresh milk from the carefully selected Sunshine Ranch. At the same time, she used freshly picked fruits to inherit the spirit of the ancient tea-horse road and connect the eastern and western cultures. The brand name was taken from the Chinese epic story Farewell My Concubine. Overlord Tea Concubine's signature product was Boya Absolute String, which sold an average of more than 10 million cups per year. In the past five years, Chaji had gradually expanded to Sichuan, Chongqing, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Guizhou, Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Xizang, Fujian and other regions, and opened more than 70 stores in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. The number of stores worldwide had exceeded 3450. The Overlord Tea Concubine was scheduled to be listed in the United States on April 11, 2024. The brand was committed to combining oriental culture with tea inheritance and innovation to create a new oriental tea shop.
Chawangchaji and Chayanyuese were two well-known milk tea brands. There were some differences in their marketing strategies and development models. Overlord Tea Concubine adopted the direct sales + alliance mode, while Cha Yan Yue Se adopted the pure direct sales mode. Chaji was even more aggressive in expansion, planning to increase the number of stores this year, and had already opened more than 60 stores in Southeast Asian countries. Chayan Yuese was relatively conservative. Currently, the stores were mainly concentrated in Hunan Province and had not yet entered the first-tier cities. There was no clear answer to the question of which brand tasted better in the document. The Overlord Tea Concubine emphasized the original leaf tea soup, while the tea color focused on creativity and taste. However, the specific evaluation and comparison were not mentioned in the document.
The Overlord Tea Concubine's formula included the use of jasmine green tea as a base and the creation of the popular product, Boya Absolute String. Boya Juexian's base formula did not contain creamer and non-vegetable fat powder, which was more in line with the needs of healthy consumption. In terms of price, the Overlord Tea Concubine chose a price range of 15-20 yuan. The specific steps included adding 30 grams of tea leaves into 960 milliliters of boiling water and stewing for 12 minutes. After filtering out the tea dregs, throw them away. Add about 600 grams of ice cubes into the tea. After the ice cubes melted, the tea soup would be ready. Then, add 20 grams of coffee milk (or 20 grams of light cream), 80ml of pure milk, 220ml of tea soup, and an appropriate amount of syrup into the ice and shake it evenly.
The Overlord Tea Concubine was not yet on the market.

Therefore, it could be concluded that the Overlord Tea Concubine was not yet on the market.
The name of the Overlord Tea Concubine originated from the Chinese epic story, Farewell My Concubine. This story originated from the Records of the Historian, Xiang Yu's Biography. It described a passage of words that Xiang Yu had said before he committed suicide." Eight thousand sons of Ji and Jiang Dong crossed the river and went west. Now, none of them have returned. Even if my father and brother in Jiang Dong pity me and make me king, how can I face them! Even if he doesn't say anything, I don't think I'm worthy of my heart!" Although Xiang Yu had been defeated, his loyalty to the Jiangdong disciples had moved the world. Yuji and Xiangyu had both died for the most precious persistence in their hearts. The Overlord Tea Concubine's obsession with Chinese tea culture was reflected in this pride and persistence.
