A milk-tea brand that began in 2008 as a little shop outside a Chengdu school and has since spread across China and abroad. Its panda mascot, Chacha, on every cup suits its home city. Favourites are yangzhi ganlu with mango, pomelo and sago, taro-ball milk tea and jasmine milk teas. It's cheap, around US$2–3 a cup. Branches cluster around Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li, so it's easy to carry one while you walk.
