Founded in 2004 in Feng Chia, Taichung, Taiwan, Ding Tea is a premium tea beverage brand that has grown into a global franchise network. Headquartered in Taichung City, Taiwan, the company emphasizes fresh, natural tea leaves and modern brewing techniques to deliver a unique taste experience.
Ding Tea began franchising the same year it was founded to bring its authentic Taiwanese tea culture to new markets. Its menu features a wide variety of drinks, from expertly brewed teas and milk teas to seasonal limited-flavor beverages, setting it apart from typical bubble-tea chains through its focus on quality, innovation, and authenticity.
With stores now operating worldwide, Ding Tea offers franchisees a strong operational framework backed by the heritage of Taiwanese tea craftsmanship. The brand’s commitment to fresh ingredients and consistent flavor has made it a trusted name among bubble-tea enthusiasts and a standout player in the competitive tea-drink industry.

Ding Tea offers a comprehensive training and support structure to prepare franchisees for both launching and operating a successful location. The training program consists of nine distinct components provided before and after opening.
Ding Tea does not offer exclusive territorial protection to its franchisees. The franchisor may approve or select store locations based on factors such as nearby retail activity, traffic, and existing Ding Tea shops, but no guarantees are made that a franchisee will be the only operator in a given area.
The Franchise Agreement does not specify a minimum area or grant exclusive rights, and Ding Tea may open other units nearby. This setup means that franchisees may face competition from other Ding Tea locations, especially in high-demand regions.
The franchisor retains full discretion over site selection and may consider proximity to other stores only as one of several factors. Without protected territory rights, franchisees must rely on strong local marketing and operational execution to maintain a competitive edge.
