Serenitea, a teashop brand, is partnering with traditional Korean cuisine pioneer Kaya to introduce a new line of snacks. The Serenitea KimCheese Snacks will be launched on September 15, 2023, and will combine the bold flavors of Kaya’s signature kimchi with the irresistible allure of cheese. This collaboration marks a departure from Serenitea’s usual focus on beverages, as it ventures into the world of snacks. Kaya, the pioneer of Korean cuisine in the Philippines, celebrates its 30th year of excellence in delivering authentic Korean flavors.

Kaya’s renowned signature kimchi, a staple in traditional Korean dishes, takes center stage in this innovative collaboration. The kimchi used in the Serenitea KimCheese Snacks is the same authentic ingredient that has been used by Kaya’s bestsellers for decades, from Kimchi Jeon (Kimchi Pan-fried),  to Kimchi Chigae (Kimchi Stew), to Kimchi Mari Gooksu (Cold Kimchi Noodle soup) and many more. This harmonious fusion of cultures and flavors is set to captivate palates and create a memorable snacking experience.

 

Introducing the Serenitea KimCheese Snacks Line:

Kimcheese Fries (Php 220) A delectable creation featuring golden fries smothered in rich cheddar cheese sauce and Kaya’s signature kimchi. Topped with nori, sour cream, and a hint of green chilis, these fries offer a symphony of flavors that’s both satisfying and unique.

Kimcheese Chicken Poppers (Php 320) Serenitea’s famous crispy chicken poppers meet the exceptional taste of Kaya’s kimchi in this mouthwatering creation. Served with a luscious cheddar cheese sauce and garnished with vibrant green chilis and nori, these poppers deliver an irresistible combination of textures and flavors.

Both snacks offer a mild level of spiciness, ensuring a pleasurable experience for all taste preferences, the perfect partner for any Serenitea beverage.

“Collaborating with Kaya has been an exciting journey, and we are thrilled to present the Serenitea KimCheese Snacks to our loyal customers,” says Juliet Chen, General Manager of Serenitea. “By combining the Filipino love for kimchi with an unexpected twist of cheese, we’ve crafted an indulgent line of snacks that perfectly complements any Serenitea beverage.”

The Serenitea brand, known for pioneering the craft of tea preparation using espresso machines, has amassed over 60 branches nationwide, cementing its position as a beloved snacking destination. The Serenitea KimCheese Snacks will be available nationwide exclusively at all Serenitea branches, as well as through third-party delivery app partners like Grab and Food Panda.
