Founded in 2016 by Mia Wan in Chicago, TE’AMO is an Asian American, women-owned bubble tea and dessert café known for its high-quality, health-conscious offerings.

 

Our mission is simple: "Bring People Together with Every Cup." We craft our beverages and desserts using premium, organic ingredients like real loose-leaf tea, organic dairy milk, fresh fruits, and natural cane syrup. From our signature 20+ layer mille crepes to chewy mochi donuts and coconut jellies made with real coconut water, every product is designed to offer a memorable, indulgent experience while prioritizing quality and well-being.

With 20+ thriving locations, TE’AMO has rapidly expanded, creating a loyal customer base that values innovation, community, and creativity. As a proud Chicago-local brand, we are deeply committed to sustainability, using eco-friendly, biodegradable packaging to align with the city’s environmental initiatives. Recognized by the Chicago Tribune, NBC, FOX, WGN, and more, TE’AMO continues to make an impact as a symbol of diversity, inclusivity, and excellence. Whether in bustling city neighborhoods or O’Hare International Airport, TE’AMO is more than just bubble tea—it’s a taste of Chicago’s vibrant food culture, bridging people and communities one cup at a time.
