CHAGEE Opens at The Shops at Mission Viejo Feb. 6–8
02.02.26
A new teahouse worth knowing about is opening at CHAGEE Modern Teahouse at The Shops at Mission Viejo from Feb. 6–8, 2026, bringing a fresh take on tea to South Orange County.
CHAGEE has its roots in Yunnan, where tea originated, and that heritage shows in how seriously they take what goes into the cup. The menu includes brewed and extracted tea lattes, premium pure teas, and refreshing blends that feel clean and well made. It works whether you want to linger for a bit or grab something on your way through the center.
Opening weekend includes limited-time drink bundles and an Early Bird Tote Bag Giveaway. The first 200 guests each day who purchase two or more large drinks will receive a complimentary CHAGEE branded tote bag, while supplies last. Guests can redeem by showing their receipt at the marketing cart.
The Mission Viejo opening also marks the South Orange County launch of the CHAGEE Passport Program. Through the brand’s app-based Local-Tea program, guests can collect stamps, unlock rewards, and access special offers and brand experiences.
