About Us
OUR VISION
To provide the best cold tea beverages in the world
OUR STORY
From day one, our philosophy has been that standard add-ons should always come free with your bubble tea. To this day, it's one of the many ways we strive to bring value to customers. We have come a long way since our stand at the Portland Farmer’s market in 2003. Since then, Braganza has become a regional chain focused on a vision to provide our customers with the best cold tea beverages in the world… and to provide them at a fair price too. In pursuit of our lofty goal, we find ourselves constantly working on betterment projects to bring you better boba and raising the bar on ingredient selection.
Braganza’s boba is made fresh at least every 4 hours, we uses loose leaf teas, craft our own syrups sweetened via organic sugar, and we take pride in the fact that many of our recipes are made from scratch at our headquarters in Vancouver, Wa.
Trivia: Our name was inspired by Catherine of Braganza; she brought tea from Portugal to the New World.
