FamilyMart Philippines launches its Tea Creations line to cater to milk tea lovers. FamilyMart Tea Creations is available in five variants: chocolate milk tea, winter melon milk tea, honeydew milk tea, grapefruit tea, and lychee fruit tea.
Team Out of Town Blog Hub (Outoftownblog.com) – Since FamilyMart Philippines launched its Coffee Creations line, it has consistently enriched its line of beverages, offering an array of drinks co-created with another Japanese brand UCC Coffee. From caramel macchiato to coffee jelly, the beverage menu of the convenience store chain has widely expanded–and with the introduction of a new range of refreshments, customers are spoiled for choice more than ever. FamilyMart Tea Creations is the latest addition to the Japanese convenience store brand’s local franchise offerings, catering to the popularity of milk tea and other tea-based drinks in the country.
FamilyMart now offers milk tea
“We’ve already established our coffee line, which delights coffee-drinking customers regularly. Now, it’s time to please tea lovers out there. Tea Creations is yet another reason why FamilyMart is a worthwhile daily destination for delicious, accessible, and high-quality food and drinks,” said Angelo Balajadia, FamilyMart Philippines Category Marketing Manager – Convenience Food Retail Category. “These are new, delicious drinks that our customers can enjoy to match their mood or vibe any day,” he added.
Available in five variants, FamilyMart Tea Creations offers two types; milk tea, which comes in chocolate, winter melon, and honeydew flavors, featuring tapioca pearls as sinkers; and fruit tea, which comes in grape and lychee flavors, and served with nata or coconut gel sinkers. Each 16oz cup goes for P95 for the milk tea and P80 for the fruit tea, while additional sinkers go for P18.
The drinks are initially available at select stores (Udenna Tower, Market! Market!, and Science Hub in Taguig) from 10 AM to 8 PM via walk-in, but those in other areas can get their fix delivered via GrabFood for more convenience.
Team Out of Town Blog Hub (Outoftownblog.com) – The Department of Tourism (DOT) applauded the naming of the country’s three island destinations among “The 25 Best Islands in the World” by the New York-based travel magazine Travel + Leisure (T+L).

Boracay Island featuring its postcard-perfect sunset, ranked 9th in the T+L World’s Best Island list, followed by Palawan at 11th with a photo of an idyllic lagoon in El Nido, and Cebu at 16th with Taoist Temple, in Cebu City. According to T+L, readers were asked to “weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated islands according to their activities and sights, natural attractions and beaches, food, friendliness, and overall value.”
Coron Palawan
“The Philippines is truly blessed with the unrivaled beauty of our natural resources coupled with the warmth and endless talent of the Filipinos manifested in this citation of Travel + Leisure that included our Cebu, Palawan, and Boracay in their prestigious list,” Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco said.
Boracay and Palawan also topped T+L’s 5 Best Islands in Asia alongside Phuket, Thailand, Bali, Indonesia, and The Maldives. “Travel + Leisure readers fondly recalled pre-COVID-era visits to the best islands in Asia. Now that the region is reopening, they’re surely eager to return to these five ports of call, including the islands of the Maldives, as well as those found in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines,” stated T + L.
“We express our heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to all tourism stakeholders from the public and private sector, the national and local government units, the efforts of the previous administration included, and all the hardworking employees and officials of the Department across the country for forging forward amidst the challenges of the pandemic and contributing in their own ways so our country may earn the title as one of the most beautiful in the world. The natural beauty of a country can truly shine through when we are united in heralding our best qualities,” Frasco added.
Philippines among the 40 Most Beautiful Countries in the World
The country is accompanied in the list by other countries such as Brazil, France, Italy, Japan, and the United States of America, among others.
Manila among top cities in the World
Meanwhile, TimeOut.com also ranked Manila among the top cities in the world. The ranking comes as a result of a survey among city-dwellers worldwide. The choice is a result of several criteria that include aspects like walkability, good public transport, safety, and sustainability other than a thriving nightlife, amazing food and drink, and art and culture. It should be noted, nonetheless, that Manila is usually in reference to Metro Manila or the Philippines’ National Capital Region.
“May this global recognition of the beauty of our natural resources inspire our efforts to raise the Philippines’ standing in the tourism industry by introducing tourism infrastructure development and improvements that would enhance connectivity and convenience in reaching our destinations,” enthused Secretary Frasco.
