A Twosome Place launches trendy decaf Milk Shotchu with a milk tea and espresso pairing
Rooibos milk tea base with decaf coffee beans
A Twosome Place is launching 'Decaffeinated Milk Shotchu,' a drink that adds a decaf espresso shot to caffeine-free rooibos milk tea. It will introduce two varieties in total, including Decaffeinated Mint Milk Shotchu. The combination reduces the bitterness of coffee while blending smoothly with the nutty aroma of rooibos milk tea.
Milk tea version built on the logic behind Iced tea with an added espresso shot
The new drink reinterprets the milk tea trend with A Twosome Place's own recipe. It applies the 'add an espresso shot to iced tea' concept behind Iced tea with an added espresso shot, which has sold more than 6 million cups cumulatively, to milk tea. The result is Milk Shotchu, an expansion that pairs smooth milk tea flavor with decaf coffee beans.
Decaf menu lineup built since 2019
A Twosome Place introduced decaf coffee beans in 2019 and has steadily rolled out decaf-focused menu items such as Oat White Latte and Decaf Cold Brew. The company said it also recognized that regular milk tea, which is based on black tea, contains caffeine and can feel heavy to drink late at night or in large amounts during the summer.
Mint version added to boost freshness
Decaffeinated Mint Milk Shotchu is a version of the original Milk Shotchu with a refreshing mint aroma added. It broadens the options for enjoying a cooler, more refreshing drink in the hot summer. The drink is designed to ease caffeine concerns while maintaining a well-balanced flavor.
Lemon Iced Tea with Shot and Lemon Iced Tea return alongside the launch
Lemon Iced Tea with Shot and Lemon Iced Tea, which were highly popular as seasonal menu items in 2024, will also return. Lemon Iced Tea with Shot combines lemon iced tea with an espresso shot, delivering both a bright lemon flavor and a clean coffee finish. Lemon Iced Tea offers the fragrant taste of lemon and is easy to enjoy in the summer without feeling heavy.
Nationwide release scheduled for June 15
The two new Milk Shotchu drinks, along with Lemon Iced Tea with Shot and Lemon Iced Tea, will be available at A Twosome Place stores nationwide starting June 15. Availability may vary by location.
