Tastea Cost Comparisons
About Tastea
The Tastea dream is a reality. We continue to push the envelope with
new drinks and flavors -- constantly creating and searching for new ways
to make people smile. But at the same time, we still serve the classics
that so many of our customers love, from Thai Iced Tea to Green Milk to
Taro Milk Tea and more. The center of the Tastea experience
is our unique tea bar, where customers can hang out with friends and
make some new ones, all while enjoying the most refreshing treat around.

Agreement to operate a single Tastea Tea Bar. The franchisor estimates
