We serve authentic Taiwanese bubble tea! The 8tea5 concept is based on inspiration, fun and respect and we truly have translated these values into our store design. The raw, but still colorful and simplistic design of our store creates an unique environment for our guests to enjoy and experience bubble tea. Since bubble tea has been founded in de 80s, the customer experiences the product in an 80s influenced environment.

Managing Director Belgium

Store Manager

• Oct 2016 - Present

Store Manager

• Nov 2014 - Oct 2016

8tea5 opened its second Belgian store on August 18th 2015 in the historical center of Brussels, not far from Central Station and La Grand Place. Brussels with its cosmopolitan stature and very international population, is sometimes also considered as the capital of Europe. In comparison with previous 8tea5 stores, 8tea5 Brussels has more seats available for those who want to relax after a busy day shopping or sightseeing. The Galerie du Centre in which 8tea5 is situated, is located in the most touristic area of Brussel, easily reachable on foot, by train or other means of public transport. Due to her central location, it is very convenient to use 8tea5 as a starting point in deciding whether you want to switch from one activity into another activity, because all facilities (shops, restaurants and landmarks) are close by. Our personnel in Brussels know their languages, so it would be no problem to be served in French, English, Dutch (or even Chinese). Show less
