machi machi in Manila

A welcome fit for Taiwan’s god of cheese tea

The Brief

A beloved beverage brand from Taiwan, machi machi was already a global name with shops across Asia, North America, Europe, and Australia. Now, they’ve found a new home in the Philippines and we set out to give them a warm Filipino welcome.

Taiwan's creative spirit meets Manila's vibrant culture.

Mapping out a party to welcome machi machi in Manila.

Love at First Sip

Invited guests were among the first in the Philippines to taste machi machi's signature drinks.

Crème Brûlée Milk Tea

Cheese Foam Mango Smoothie with Jelly Pearls and Grapefruit Jelly

Strawberry Milk Pana Cotta

Black Milk Tea

Every party starts with an invitation. Teasers for machi machi's launch took off via social media.

Unique to machi machi were their reusable bottles for select drinks. Guests were able to adorn their own with customizable charms.

The guestlist for the launch was a gathering of fun, young, and relatable personalities. All of them arrived in eye-catching shades of blue.

Of course, we captured every moment.

Charms, milk tea, and blue anywhere you looked. Launch day was a lively celebration that deserved to be remembered with a highlight reel that matched the vibe.
