Who we are

Inspiration of Tea

Founded in 2012 in a modest alleyway called Jiangbianli in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, China, HEYTEA began with a simple yet revolutionary idea: to rejuvenate traditional tea culture for the modern era. Our founder, Nie Yunchen, envisioned a space where tea could be more than just a beverage—it could be an experience that inspires joy and creativity.

From these humble beginnings, HEYTEA introduced the world to the original Cheese Tea, a harmonious blend of freshly brewed tea topped with a rich, creamy cheese foam. This innovative concoction quickly captivated the palates of young consumers, leading to widespread acclaim and long queues at our stores.

Our commitment to quality is unwavering. We use only real ingredients, avoiding artificial creamers, flavors, and colorants. This dedication ensures that every cup of HEYTEA delivers a pure and delightful experience.

Over the years, HEYTEA has expanded its footprint globally, with over 4,000 stores across more than 300 cities, including locations in Singapore, the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom . Each store embodies our mission to "Drive Quality, Spark Joy", offering a serene and modern environment where customers can relax and savor their drinks.

Our iconic logo, depicting a person sipping tea at a 45-degree angle, symbolizes our philosophy of blending tradition with modernity, and our commitment to delivering inspiration in every sip .

At HEYTEA Southampton, we are proud to bring this global tea experience to the heart of the city. Join us on Southampton High Street to discover a new world of tea, where every cup is crafted with passion and precision.
