HEYTEA, a Chinese leading new-style premium tea drinks seller, is actively advancing its ongoing expansion into global markets.
Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, October 26, 2023 -- China’s leading new-style premium tea drinks seller, HEYTEA is accelerating its ongoing expansion into overseas markets. The company’s first store in the UK opened earlier this August in London. Another milestone was quickly reached in October when its first store in Australia opened in Melbourne. Opening soon will be the first HEYTEA store in Canada. The additions of new locations will see HEYTEA expanding its presence outside Asia, by reaching out to Europe, Oceania and North America.

While many tea drink sellers utilize powdered ingredients, HEYTEA always adheres to its guiding principle of utilizing ALL REAL ingredients, i.e., “real milk, real tea, real fruits and real cane sugar”, which provides consumers with tea drinks of substantially higher quality. This distinction explains why HEYTEA has quickly become extremely popular in overseas markets: in London, the SOHO store can sell up to 2,000 cups of tea a day with highest daily revenue of 12,000 British pounds while the Swanston store in Melbourne sells as many as nearly 3,000 cups per day with highest daily revenue exceeding 30,000 Australian dollars.
