HiTea, the founder of new tea drinks, is headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong. In 2012, HEYTEA originated in an alley called Jiangbianli in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province. It opened a new era of tea drinking with a cup of original cheese tea. HEYTEA's original name was ROYALTEA. Due to the inability to register a trademark, it was fully upgraded to the registered brand "HEYTEA" in 2015. As a young, technological and international new tea drink chain brand in China, HeyTea integrates Chinese cultural traditions and creative innovation, focusing on presenting high-quality tea aromas from all over the world, and starting a new tea drink trend.
