A Brief Background about CoCo
Originating in Taiwan, CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice started expanding in 1997 with China, where it got really known as the leading and biggest fresh-drinks brand, as its first venture. Soon after, CoCo started exploring other markets such as New York, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Los Angeles, Singapore, South Africa and eventually Philippines. Now, breaking the 1,500 mark for the number of stores worldwide, CoCo has now established a reputation as the leading freshly made-tea and juice brand.

- It's good to try it your own, but oftentimes it is better to leave juicing to the expert.
- Home exercises such as squats, lunges and push-up may tone and build up muscles, so this means we don't have any excuses staying fit.
- Fun runs are indeed fun, but they have lower potential in making your muscles firm as opposed to sprinting.
- Old habits can be replaced by knowing how to start small and providing yourself with some rewards.

It's Tea and Juice Time!
After the short presentation of Chris, we were introduced to the drinks collection of CoCo which I found considerably wide. There are basically 6 categories of drinks to choose from:
- Fruit Tea - concoction of fresh fruits and tea leaves
- Tasty Milk Tea - the traditional favorites!
- Cream and Latte - comparable to tasty milk tea but only creamier with its famous salty cream
- Fresh Tea - nothing but the pure goodness of tea
- Juice - for a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
- Chocolate - for some guilty pleasures!

Here are some of the guests CoCo invited to grace the event.
Grapefruit & Orange Tea || P90 - Regular
Pineapple Black Tea Jelly || P90 - Regular
Salty Cream Chocolate || P90 - Regular || P100 - Large + P20 for pudding
This Salty Cream Chocolate was the one suggested by one of the staff when I tried ordering for something chocolate. She insisted that I try this one because it's a popular choice. Giving her the full trust, I decided to go for that one, and luckily I did because it was indeed awesome!

| Salty Cream Chocolate with extra pudding for more fun! |
It had this rich cocoa taste layered upon by the subtle saltiness of the salty cream. Also, the extra pudding I asked for further added more dimension and excitement to the drink. Unfortunately, the only thing that didn't went along was the pearls. I don't know if it was just a personal preference, but it didn't sail well together with the other great components.
Before I proceed, let me just dedicate this portion to the awesome crew behind CoCo! Seeing their accommodating smiles really made me appreciate more the drinks served!
Passion Fruit Tea Burst || P90- Regular || P100 - Large
To conclude this blog post, I would say that I appreciated the drinks of CoCo for two prime reasons. First off, I just love how I can actually taste the freshness of the juice and tea. Second, CoCo's selections of fruit-tea combinations are simply amazing and totally refreshing! If you happen to be near this tea store, give it a try, and let's see how it'll go. For those who were able to try it already, share away your juice and tea experience with us!

| The best-selling Passion Fruit tea burst that will take you away! |
According one of the staff, this Passion Fruit Tea is the number 1 best-seller among all drinks available here in CoCo. This is why when this was served to me, I got pretty excited to have a sip. I'll tell you, it was really strikingly refreshing especially with its controlled level of fruity sweetness. What made me love this even more was the excitement from the chewiness of the nata and the crunchiness of the passion fruit seeds (although I would have appreciated it more if the sago was more soft that will somehow melt as you chew).
