Order Cheese Tea From This Chinese Chain Expanding To NYC

HeyTea, known for serving and creating cheese tea, is opening up its first ever NYC location on December 8th.

The company first started with a humble 20-square-meter shop in an alley known as Jiangbianli in China. HeyTea officially created the first cup of cheese tea in 2012, marking a “New-Style Tea” era. Since then, HeyTea has expanded across 40 cities (including London) with 600 stores.

Prideful of using real tea leaves, HeyTea offers various beverages from the original Very Grape Cheezo to Very Nectar Plum and Roasted Brown Boba Milk.

We know some of you may be weary of the cheese tea concept so let’s get a few things straight. Does the tea contain actual cheese? Yes. However, “cheese” can be commonly used as a term for dairy in China. So no, there won’t be any cheddar or gruyere to top your beverage. Rather, cheese tea is made with cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and a pinch of salt, best explained Eater.

New openings have been known to draw long crowds as everyone’s eager to try the viral sensation. Adventurous drinkers and tea lovers can head to Midtown to check out the new location taking over 1407 Broadway this December.
